As Brian mentioned, the base category is always installed for a new 
installation.  After that, what's installed is automatically updated
with each subsequent run of 'setup.exe'.  The list of installed 
packages is kept in /etc/setup/installed.db.  There's no external
'trigger' that dictates what's installed or updated by default.  That's
part of the logic of 'setup.exe'.
