Although better to wait for the stable release of Debian 6.0 squeeze, I updated the operating system of this server.
Unable to install grub on lenny, I had to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for lilo can read. The edit is like this. (cf. 4.1.6. Prepare initramfs for LILO.)

But the upgrade is succeeded across the board with seeing the Japanese version of Chapter 4. Upgrades from previous releases, although I’m impressed these points.
Gnome desktop and a trouble with networking.
I mainly use this server as a router and as a server. But for operating with Japanese script, I install Gnome desktop. When I upgraded it, the Gnome desktop is removed. So I have to reinstall it.
Network Manager is automatically installed then. But I don’t feel it good. This server is also a router. But the Network Manager isn’t good for me. I use the configuration of /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/ppp/.
When I download the IMAP folders (for saving mails) from my account on this server, I got this warning:
Filesystem notification initialization error — contact your mail administrator (check for configuration errors with the FAM/Gamin library)
I wondered what kind of error it is. But seeing rjbs’s rubric: mutt problems after debian upgrade, I installed fam. My imap server seems to want to install FAM or Gamin.
