I'm curious if someone could help me better understand the installer for this. I already have Drupal installed and would like to only use the Commons modules for a portion of our website. Is there a way to install Commons without the core information?

Since there are so many modules, the easiest way is to download commons into an empty folder, extract its contents, and drag/move all the commons*, and commons theme (if applicable) to your modules folder. You'll also need to copy over any dependent modules (also found in profiles/commons/modules/contrib) that you may not have in your sites/all/modules folder

Once you do that, you can individually enable features/modules you need.

Unfortunately the installer itself is meant for starting off with commons as a base, and wouldn't be applicable in this situation. However, I can see a future use case where we have the modules and some wizard where you can easily install commons on an active drupal site.

Seems to be an answer here. Unless @japerry wants to turn it into a feature request, I am setting as fixed for now.
