5	5	Quickstart:
	6
6	7	* Make sure you have the kernel tree corresponding to your current
7	8	kernel in /usr/src/linux. Distribution kernels usually won't do,
8	9	compile your own from a 'vanilla' tree (get one from
9	10	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.
	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
16	22	* Do a `depmod -a'.
	23
17	24	* Add the line
18	25	/usr/local/lib
19	26	to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is not there yet.
	27
20	28	* Do a `ldconfig'.
	29
21	30	* Run `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files
	31
22	32	* Run `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware, put
23	33	the lines it suggests into /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
24	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
25	39	* Run `sensors' to see your output.
	40
26	41	* That's all folks!
