There is indeed such an iso image (100 MB including all doc).

But .. as an experiment you try the following:

(1) download one of:

   http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texsync.rb
   http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texsync.exe

(2) run:

   texsync --update --tree=doc --destination=<yourpath> --force

   with <yourpath> being for instance (on windows) d:/tex/documentation

(3) and/or:

   texsync --update --make --tree=doc --destination=<yourpath> --force

   with <yourpath> being for instance (on windows) d:/tex/

Given that you have perl installed, the file 'setuptex.bat' (there is also 
a linux one) in the texroot should provide you the minimal system you want.

The destination is optional, and when omitted, it will use kpsewhich to 
determine the root; a first time there is probably no such root.
