Install the 1.2 base and only the packages you need for networking. You
will have fewer questions to answer when installing the packages from 1.3
if they are fresh installs. If you look at the version numbers on that CD
and those in 1.3 you will see that not most packages from 1.2 that you
install will be replaced by newer versions.
