+Quickstart for Kernel 2.6 
+-------------------------

+0) Just compile and install lm-sensors userspace tools. You can do that with:
+   'make user; make user_install'
+1) Make sure your kernel has support for all I2C bus drivers and
+   'i2c device interface'. If you are using a distribution kernel, all is
+   already prepared, you don't need to recompile it.
+2) Run 'sensors-detect' command, it will tell you what modules you need to load.
+3) Load them and run 'sensors' command, you should see some results.
+4) Find right section in /etc/sensors.conf, fix labels, limits, fan divisors
+5) Run 'sensors -s' to apply the changes.
+
+You may also try our installation wizard at:

+We are aware that the documentation could be improved, please contact us if
+you want to help us with that.
