Start with an install from the server disk, rather than
the default desktop install. 

(This may be a general option in 10.04 rather than a separate
install disk. I don't remember.)

Then aptitude install the kiosk application -- firefox, I would
guess. Whatever it is, all the requirements, and nothing else,
should get dragged in with it. Unless something very funky is
going on, you should get a system totalling rather less than a
gig.
