This whole sequence started when I attempted to install 12.04 lts onto a Dell 
Optiplex 280 with single core Pentium 4. 3gb memory. 750 Gb hard drive 
partitioned as (3) NTFS partitions of about this size. C ~ 300GB, D ~ 300GB, E 
~ 120 GB. Native OS is Windows XP Service Pack 32 bit.
Not clear from wubi instructions for 12.04  what to do for dual boot system 
with Ubuntu on E partition. So I decided to reinstall Ubuntu 10.4 lts which had 
previously been on this machine and resided on E partition. 
Did it. 
After that install, the system offered an upgrade to 12.04 instead of updating 
the 10.04 upgrades. Selected the 12.04 upgrade via network connection over DSL. 
(As I knew from the 10.04 install that it had landed successfully on the E 
partition).
This took 3+ hours. Maybe a bad choice on Christmas day as we were cooking and 
preparing to go to a relatives house to celebrate Christmas at night.
Several error messages indicating upgrade failure occurred during the process. 
Most disturbing had to do with kernel upgrade failure. Maybe not as bad as 
indicated as this info is being submitted from the 12.04 OS without obvious 
problems.  

What lurks unseen?

BTW this whole process was undertaken because of excessive cpu
utilization by Win XP. Made for slow internet/printig from browser.
