1) There is a groupe of packages that are required. Theses packages are necessary for the proper functioning of the system (eg. a kernel, a boot loader, initscript, glibc, etc).

It is not necessary for other package to depends on them, because they **should** be there (although it does not hurt if a package depends on them).
kernel and bootloader aren't really required e.g. in a chroot; I don't think that such a list would include much beside glibc and pacman with its dependencies (otherwise it wouldn't be arch) -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' homepage: http://www.trueelena.org
