Odd start up issue

[Timothy Holmes]

Hi guys.

Im running 16.04 on a built up machine.  Assembled from random pieces.
Pentium 4 2.3ghz old gateway mobo. Has 1 gb ram on it.  Boot drive id an
old seagate 120gb drive. Theres an old wd 80gb drive that will be a data
drive.  I formatted the drive using the guided partitioning - use whole
drive in the setup wizard.

I did find that running fsck fixed a whole bunch of inode errors, and also,
it iurns out that a bunch od dpkg tasks had not finished yet.  Those are
now done.  The machine seems to be running ok this am.
