Hello Alain,

Thanks!  On attempt to remove it, RPM complained about many dependencies 
on many other packages, so I rather just leave it as is, but prohibit it 
from running by chkconfig off it at all run-levels.

But I am wondering why I could not find lm_sensors on the pre-install 
screens and the Linux AddRemoveApp program.  I think I clicked on the 
"Details" buttons of most of the packages already, but still could not 
find any sub-package names similar to lm_sensors.   Just in case I need 
to re-install FC3 or other distro in the future.
