Having reread the start of my post I have to agree. This could easily be
interpreted as "don't install RH 7.1".

For the record:

AS A THINKPAD USER, DO NOT EVEN CONTEMPLATE INSTALLING LM_SENSORS !
AND IF YOUR UPGRADE/SELECTED INSTALL METHOD DOES THIS AUTOMATICALLY THEN
EXECUTE THE FOLLOWING "rpm --erase lm_sensors".

Happy with this version ? ;-)


Please install RH/Mandrake/SuSE/etc Linux. It is worth it.

Bill
