I installed the VS 2005 Beta and didn't see the business intelligence project type. How do I get that project type in my list Do I need SQL 2005 installed on the same machine
In VS2003, you just needed to install the SQL Server client tools to access the Business Intelligence project type. I'm not sure if there's an option in the current SQL Server 2005 install to just install the client piececs.
I'd suggest just installing the whole thing, it should make your development easier (that way, even if you turn off SQL Server locally, you'll still have the Management Studio to manage/connect to your remote databases ... very handy unless you like setting up remote desktops or walking between servers).

Here's also a list of installation notes on integrating SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio which you may find helpful:
