I don't know what would _exactly_ happen, if you do an apt-get update in the wrong (with the "new" sources.list) moment. To be on the secure side, probably an apt-get update after the change back to the old sources.list would be good.

As far as I know, Enigma 1.00 missed the "etch" release. In "lenny" (testing) you have the enigma 1.00.
