Installing mkinitcpio shows lots of conflicts

Hello, I had done a fresh install today on my Acer Aspire One..All was alright and fast coz I have backup packages and pacman db...:D
Since my AA1's network doesn't work out of the box on the default kernel of my installer, upgrading to a newer one needs a newer mkinitcpio. So I installed it and after checking for conflicts, alot of things showed up and it was so long (conflicts) "file exists".  I know this can be ignored by using

pacman -Sf mkinitcpio

but I'm afraid to break my system or for future troubles to show up...Is there any way to avoid this? If the conflicts are few, I usually delete them manually.  But now since it is very long, I don't know how to delete them all...:/

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

What files are conflicting? If the list is very long, you can use use a pastebin
