Hmm, seems like a lot of playing around. Could you tell me how I would go about detecting the sensors, just to monitor them with an app like gkrellm? It is really that hard? I have a bit of experience with linux so I know how not to break a system. :) BTW, I'm running Redhat 9 (kernel 2.4.20-8) on a Shuttle SN41G2 XPC and an AthlonXP 2600+ 333FSB. Thank you and much appreciated. Regards Andrew PS. If possible, please reply to munday at globaldial.com .
