I'm not sure how this is the wrong mailing list.

I'm looking for assistance on getting lm-sensors installed on a 
particular OS / CPU combination.  My subject line didn't originally 
state "install lm-sensors on CentOS 5 - Intel/Xeon combo. Help pls." as 
I would expect that on the lm-sensors mailing list, that would be 
understood.

Is this not the mailing list to ask for assistance in installing 
lm-sensors? If not, pls do let me know to which mailing list I should 
post? If I knew which mailing list to ask, I would've posted there.

Kind Regards
