Two questions:

2. Is it possible to see what packages make up the basic system?
many thanks

In answer to question 2, the short answer is that it depends on your distro, generally speaking. Before I changed from using opensuse to PCLinuxOS, YaST had a option called 'patterns' (from memory). From memory the 'pattern' in terms of your question would have been called 'Base system'. Other distros may have a similar option, but you would have to check that.
Thanks it is called patterns and I can see what it does.
But I was thinking of looking at the packages that the Aryalinux builder puts together for the basic system, BEFORE one starts. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here?

I know you can choose which packages are installed/not be installed before the installation process starts in terms of yast/opensuse but, not sure about Aryalinux but. So your probably better off if someone with some more knowledge about Aryalinux helps you with this.
If you are using the builder version 2017, you need to start the build process by doing this in terminal once you boot into the builder DVD.
sudo su
cd /root
cd aryalinux/base-system
./build-arya
That would ask you several options one of them being if you wanna backup stages if you say yes, the backups would be created in the /sources directory of the partition you would choose as root. Backups are created just after the toolchain, after the base-system is build(LFS), X-Server and after the Desktop environment.
The applications that are installed can be found out in the following directories in base-system directory - final-system, extras
