Installation requirements
=========================
 
  1. A computer(laptop) running a fairly recent Linux distro, preferably with a kernel from the 2.6 series. 
  
  2. That kernel MUST have ACPI support enabled and /proc file support. Sysfs support
     is required for a kernel from the 2.6 series (not for 2.4).
     
     For ACPI, enable all options applicable to your system. You should enable
     at least the following :
     
     - sleep states
     - processor
     - button
     - thermal zone
     - battery
     - ac adapter
     - fan
  
  3. If you have a Toshiba laptop, you can enable kernel support the Toshiba ACPI extensions.
  
  4. If you have an Asus laptop, you can enable kernel support the ASUS ACPI extensions.
   
  5. a C++ compiler (gcc-g++ is fine, it worked for me anyway).
  
  6. GNU Make 
  

Basic Installation
==================

The simplest way to compile this package is:

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
     `configure'. When that's done, type `make' to compile the package.

  2. Type `make install' to install the program and any data files and
     documentation.

  3. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
     source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To remove the
     installed files that `make install' created , type `make uninstall'.


Installation Names
==================

By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin'.  You can edit the Makefile and specify an installation
prefix other than `/usr/local'.
