I found for you more suitable solution. Mandrake has this lm_sensor package already ready for you! Just try to install http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/MandrakeClub/test/10.0/i586/lm_sensors-2.8.6-0.1mdk.i586.html package called like lm_sensors-2.8.6-0.1mdk.i586 After that run command: sensors-detect It will create automatically config for your configuration and save it here /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors It will work after reboot or after you issue this command: /etc/init.d/lm_sensors start If it will write Permission denied use command su to get root. like this: ruik at kiur:~$ su Password: kiur:/home/ruik# /etc/init.d/lm_sensors start After that run command: sensors to see the output. Or install some GUI aplication like gkrellm to get some graphical representation. Try to find some suitable application in mandrake packages yourself. I'm using that gkrellm. I hope this helps. Because nor I or any other developer uses mandrake and this package, please try to contact people from mandrake if any futher troubles with this package. (or find some mandrake mailing list or web forum) I know only what I have written here :) Regards Rudolf
