I know this has been covered here before, but I can't find it in the
archives (I can never find anything in those damn archives!). How
does one set up lm_sensors, once installed?

First, not all motherboards support hardware monitoring. If you see temps, voltages, etc. in bios the board does. If you don't it most likely doesn't. If it does, then run (as root) 'sensors-detect'
You'll go thru a list of questions, in most all cases just hit <Enter>, eg, take the default answer to all of 'em. The script will then generate a few lines and tell you which to put in /etc/modules.conf
or at the very end of rc.local. Back in sensors-detect there's one more question, write a config file? Say yes, and you're done. Then run rc.local, eg, '/etc/rc.d/rc.local'. Then typing 'sensors' as root or user should display your voltages, fan speeds and temps.

Tom,
I downloaded lm_sensors-2.6.4-4mdk.i586.rpm,
It wanted CD2 , I gave it, but still it reported ,
libpng12.so.0<>=s is needed by lm_sensors-2.6.4-4mdk.i586.rpm,
with no clue as to where to find it.

Do you think it's worth chasing this dependency or is it not much
hope.

John
