(mds) I thought we needed a SHORT version of the install instructions

to make things easy and to ensure that people run sensors-detect.
      I put it at the top of the INSTALL file where people can't miss it.
      Comments/corrections welcome.

INSTALLATION - SHORT INSTRUCTIONS - NON-KERNEL INSTALLATION
=============================================================================
- Make sure you also have the i2c package installed
in the same directory as lm_sensors2
- rmdir i2c
- ln -s ../i2c i2c
- cd i2c
- make (ignore 'no such file or directory' warnings)
- (as root) make install
- cd ../lm_sensors2
- make (ignore 'no such file or directory' warnings)
- (as root) make install
- prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh (makes the devices in /dev)
- prog/detect/sensors-detect (determines installed hardware)
- Place the 'modprobe' commands output by sensors-detect in a
boot file like /etc/rc.d/rc.multi
- After those commands, put the line 'sensors -s' in the boot file
to initialize the sensors at boot time
- Place the lines output by sensors-detect in the module
configuration file /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf
- Reboot
- Verify correct installation of modules at boot time
- Use the command 'sensors' to check sensor status.

The prog subdirectory contains lots of useful programs, many of which are
not installed. doc/progs contains some documentation for each of them.
Most important are prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh, which creates /dev/i2c-* files,
and prog/detect/detect.pl, which tries to detect what adapters are
and prog/detect/sensors-detect, which tries to detect what adapters are
present on your system.
