Currently, one needs a bit of rpm[1] to initialize a minimal base system[2]. It would be cool if one could just use zypper to calculate all the dependencies. Like:
zypper --root /tmp/test install rpm zypper
Afterwards, the zypper inside the new chroot can be used to install further packages as desired.

[2] perhaps not even functional for a standalone boot, but that's not the point

zypper --root /xen/os11.0 --source /media/dvd rpm zypper

$ zypper --root /xen/os11.0 --plus-repo <anyURL> install zypper

$ zypper --root /xen/os11.0 ar <anyURL> myrepo
$ zypper --root /xen/os11.0 <anycommand> ...
also, a bit OT, but nevertheless - please familiarize yourselves with this command :O)
