5 Quickstart:
6
7   * Make sure you have the kernel tree corresponding to your current
8     kernel in /usr/src/linux. Distribution kernels usually won't do,
9     compile your own from a 'vanilla' tree (get one from
10     ftp://ftp.kernel/org/pub/linux/kernel/).
11
12   * Install the latest i2c package. This may be necessary even if
13     you have a 2.4 kernel.
14
15   * Do `make'.
16     The warnings about .d files at the start are harmless.
17     If you have compile problems, you probably skipped step 2.
18     Go back and install the latest i2c package.
19
20   * Do (as root) `make install'.
21
22   * Do a `depmod -a'.
23
24   * Add  the line
25       /usr/local/lib
26     to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is not there yet.
27
28   * Do a `ldconfig'.
29
30   * Run `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files
31
32   * Run `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware, put
33     the lines it suggests into /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
34     (whichever one exists) and enter the modprobe lines it suggests.
35     Add the line `sensors -s' after the modprobe lines.
36
37   * Reboot or else type in the modprobe lines and `sensors -s'
38
39   * Run `sensors' to see your output.
40
41   * That's all folks!
