[ Last official 1.2.x kernel was 1.2.13. 1.2.29 does not exists... ]
Debian 1.3.1 comes with kernel 2.0.29.

As far as I know, java related packages are in the non-free area, so this
cdrom is not "official". You would have to complain to whom you purchased
the CDs.

To be sure, you may compare those bad packages with the ones in
ftp.debian.org or any of its mirrors.

It depends on the shell. If all your users (which may be as little as
root and you) are using /bin/bash, you may change this in /etc/profile.

In general, it is *much* better to use Debian packages for upgrading a
Debian system. XFree 3.3.1 was not available at the time Debian
1.3 was released but now it is available in unstable.

[ Of course, unstable is still unstable ].
