From "Slackware Linux Essentials":
http://www.slackbook.org/html/packag...-tagfiles.html

Option Meaning
ADD The package is required for proper system operation
SKP The package will be automatically skipped
REC The package is not required, but recommended
OPT The package is optional

From the X packages tagfile:
http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/slackwa...ware/x/tagfile

x11: ADD
x11-devel: ADD
x11-docs: REC
x11-docs-html: OPT
x11-fonts-100dpi: OPT
x11-fonts-cyrillic: OPT
x11-fonts-misc: ADD
x11-fonts-scale: ADD
x11-xdmx: OPT
x11-xnest: OPT
x11-xvfb: OPT

The ones with "ADD" are required.
