However, I also think, I may have missed a step installing custom packages from the CD (if there is one), probably accepting the default packages.

Probably, and it's not too difficult to miss out on something when you're doing a custom install ;)

Here's one technique I started using lately for custom (and really streamlined when I'm in that mood) installs; install the base system and then use aptitude for the tasks. No, don't install everything under the task. Select a task and then deselect stuff under it that you don't need. That way you will never miss out on some packages that you may need. Common example is installing gcc but forgetting to install autoconf/automake.
