Greg,

As far as I can see, you only need the first few lines and the last two:
the sources lists for Debian and for Kanotix.  I'd be tempted to
substitute .uk for .de in the Debian mirror lists.

The rest are not being used: they are all commented out.

If you do an apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade - how many packages
have changed (Hint: your Debian mirrors are being searched _before_ your
Kanotix sources so you will, potentially, gradually come to run vanilla 
Debian unstable) ?

That should save you a couple of k at least :)

Andy
