5 Quickstart:
6   * Make sure you have the kernel tree corresponding to your current
7     kernel in /usr/src/linux. Distribution kernels usually won't do,
8     compile your own from a 'vanilla' tree (get one from
9     ftp://ftp.kernel/org/pub/linux/kernel/).
10   * Install the i2c package. This won't do any harm, even if use a very
11     recent 2.3 or 2.4 kernel, though it may be unnecessary. At the very
12     least, make sure you have i2c-algo-bit either compiled into your
13     kernel or available as a module somewhere.
14   * Do a `make' followed by a `make install'. The warnings about .d
15     files at the start are harmless.
16   * Add the line
17        path=/lib/modules/current/extra
18     to /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf (whichever one exists)
19     if it is not there yet
20   * Do a `depmod -a'.
21   * Add  the line
22       /usr/local/lib
23     to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is not there yet.
24   * Do a `ldconfig'.
25   * Run `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files
26   * Run `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware, put
27     the lines it suggests into /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
28     (whichever one exists) and enter the modprobe lines it suggests.
29   * Run `sensors' to see your output.
30   * That's all folks!
