Archetype Tool use in export(old)/import(new) site

Hi,

I've got an old site that was sort of set up as a prototype
and
I made plenty of mistakes on it.  It is a 2.0.4 site from a
Debian
distribution and I've got a new 2.5 vanilla site set up. 
Earlier
attempts to migrate (to 2.1.x) failed and I gave up.  

But, I am happy to just export from the old and import into
the
new for the content and recreate the user database by hand.

Forgive me if this is documented clearly somewhere but I ran
into
trouble as follows.  

I imported folders okay but the little icons did not show up
and
clearly the new site did not understand the content.  After
fooling
around a bit I finally clicked on
"archetype_tool".  I noticed that
the new site had most of the ATContentTypes listed as
uninstalled
and the old had them as installed.

So by clicking on Install for ATFolder and ATDocument, the
old
content that I had imported was recognised.  This was good.

Sorry for the long lead-in.  I can now ask my questions:

1.) Was my confusion caused because the default
configuration of
atcontent types changed quite a bit since the old 0.2.0-rc3
version?

2.) Did I do the correct thing to get this stuff in?

3.) What is the intention in the new 2.5 vanilla install
with
having atcontenttypes set up with many types un-installed?

4.) Am I asking this in the right place?

thanks!
Stuart
