I'm sure there are other things there too, but nothing that has been 
nasty for me.  YMMV.  (I'm only a beginner with Debian).  Someone here 
on d-u commented today that the Knoppix install puts far too much stuff 
on the h.d., but I was just pleased to have my network card recognised 
and configured, which otherwise was going to need a kernel compile. It 
gave me a complete working system: now I just purge a couple of things 
each time I update.  In a year or two it'll be pruned more to what I 
need...

Good luck, either way.
