Presumably your motherboard/BIOS doesn't export the temperature as an ACPI thermal zone. This isn't required.. Likely your best bet is lm_sensors if your board has a sensor chip that it supports.. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@nospamshaw.ca Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/
