What's a "standard installation"?

Is there an easy way to do this (I know...someone will say "Just do a standard installation" but I'm stymied there for a variety of reasons that no one here would probably find interesting)?

You could check some machine with a "standard installation" and look at
its /root/install.log for ideas on what to install.
