I have 2 questions about 1.3.  I would be very happy if someone can
answers.

1. Are there ANY differences between Kickstart 1.3 (shipped with the
	Enhancer package) and Kickstart 1.2?  (The 1.3 Kickstart disk in the 
	package that I bought is unreadible, so I could send it back, but
	if it is the same as 1.2, why bother?)  This is for an A1000, of
	course.

2. To recreate my harddisk partitions with the FFS, I want to back them up
	and then after the disk is repartitioned
	(to allow autobooting from an old FS partition); I want to restore 
	things as they are, but with FFS.  Can I use one of the harddisk
	backup programs on a Fish disk to backup from one filesystem and set
	of partition sizes, and restore to another filesystem and changed
	partition sizes?  (This for an A2000.)

I would be grateful for any advice about these questions.
