33 The <application>lm_sensors</application> package provides user-space
34 support for the hardware monitoring drivers in the Linux kernel.
35 This is useful for monitoring the temperature of the CPU and adjusting the
36 performance of some hardware (such as cooling fans).

107 Getting your kernel config right is an iterative process that may require
108 that you recompile your kernel a couple of times. The simplest way to go
109 about it is to start by enabling modules and then compile everything that
110 may be needed by Lm Sensors as a module:
