You're definitely going to need more than the base packages to get a 
usable system. Consider third-party repositories as the equivalent of 
Debian's default repositories--basically an integral part of a functioning 
system.

I'd recommend atrpms and dag. Between the two of those (or probably even 
just one of them) you'll get all the packages you need.
