Thanks.

My kernel uses i686, does that i386 matter? And how can I undo the installation
back to previous version if there is any problem?

Great Jobs.
Ubuntu team rocks.

The apt-get/synaptic is much faster and robust than synaptic in fedora which
left my system in a messy state when I try to upgrate from fc3 to fc4. I never
tried warty to hoary before, but I did countless times of updating with Ubuntu
synpatic/apt-get and never breaks.
