5Quickstart:
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  * Do a `depmod -a'.
17  * Add  the line
18      /usr/local/lib
19    to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is not there yet.
20  * Do a `ldconfig'.
21  * Run `prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh' to create the device files
22  * Run `prog/detect/sensors-detect' to detect your hardware, put
23    the lines it suggests into /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
24    (whichever one exists) and enter the modprobe lines it suggests.
25  * Run `sensors' to see your output.
26  * That's all folks!
