This is what the Live cd normally does if you hit install on th desktop.

Its a fully functional desktop. I don't really understand what you mean 
by a standard install....usually live cd's come in KDE or GNome flavors 
so only the set of packages for that desktop is included. You can go to 
add/remove software and add the other desktop environment if you like as 
well as anything else in the repos. You could during install add the 
repos too though I have never had much luck with that myself, on top of 
which it takes longer to finish the installation anyway because your 
downloading more packages.
