I have been going through the documentation for a while now. I'm using
kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp. When installing on a new system Grub didn't
install properly but using the rescue disk and the root & setup
commands. Now just have to rebuild the menu system for grub.
Since a version has already been installed I have not tried to recompile
the latest version and the rpm that is available also needs the rrdtool
as part of it's dependencies.
found the sensors-detect script and i2cdetect in a different location
and now have the outputs of that for the sensors that "may" work.
This information just all gets put into the files that the sensors-
detect script gives? What happens with the output, is it graphical or
are there other programs to read the output?
Thanks
