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.
