What to do is login as root at the screen you see, run those commands, and
email back to the mailing list the results. If those don't provide bad
answers, then doing what Kent on 2015-09-25 12:02 (UTC-0500) and Brad on
2015-09-25 18:06 (UTC+0100) suggested should get you going.

Also, answer the question I asked about your computer's age.
