If you would have read the 56k part of my post you would have realized that an apt-get -u dist-upgrade is out of the question because it would take too long to download on my connection.

I have already spent several hours on debian.org and knoppix.net reading up different subjects such as apt-get and was already using it to update the packages i find necessary. What i was asking was what were the most important packages. I have already changed my sources list from the default knoppix sources, as per the suggestion of another user on this forum.

When i was refering to the init.d scripts i was talking about all the code relating to the live linux disk which i no longer need (for example their are variables relating to what install mode i chose to install with), also there is alot of stuff in there which i would only need if i upgraded to the 2.6 kernel.
