I am sorry to ask an off-topic question, but as I am unable to resolve 
my problem...

I have tried to monitor my CPU temperature, and installed as I did it 
many times in the past, lm-sensors. However, even before the package was 
installed, I got a warning, that if this was an IBM Thinkpad, I shall 
ctrl-c right away, as there apparently is a real danger to trash some 
part of your notebook, while it scans for sensors (IIRC).

Now, as you seem to have found a way to monitor the CPU temperature on a 
IBM Thinkpad, I would be glad to know how you did it, so that I could 
check my CPU temperature as well. To give some information on my 
platform: I got a T42p running Ubuntu.

Kind regards
