    33There are two ways in which you can compile and install this package. Each 
    44has its own strong points. They are: 
     5 
    56 1. Complete separate from kernel compilation 
    67    This will generate a set of modules which can be inserted and removed 
    78    as needed; nothing will be written into the kernel tree; 
     9 
    810 2. Patching of the kernel 
    911    This will patch your kernel source tree. You must recompile your kernel 
    1012    to take advantage of this. But it makes it possible to compile drivers 
    1113    into the kernel itself, instead of having to add them as modules. 
    12     AFTER YOU COMPILED AND INSTALLED YOUR KERNEL, YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO  
    13     COMPILE THIS PACKAGE TO GET THE USERLAND UTILITIES! 
     14    ** AFTER YOU COMPILED AND INSTALLED YOUR KERNEL, YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO

     16    ** NOT ALL MODULES ARE PATCHED INTO THE KERNEL. SEE BELOW.

    239244It will only work if you applied the i2c patches first. 
    240245 
     246** Only a subset of the modules in lm_sensors are patched into the        ** 
     247** kernel by the script. See the file mkpatch/FILES to see if the         ** 
     248** modules you need are included. If a module you need is NOT listed      ** 
     249** in mkpatch/FILES, it will not be patched, and you MUST use option 1.   ** 
     250** If you are not sure what modules you need, run `sensors-detect' first. **

    241252The kernel diffs are generated by the program `mkpatch.pl' in the mkpatch 
    242253subdirectory. It needs two arguments: the first one is the root of the
