+This is a bundling of the i2c and lm_sensors packages for use in either
+patching against a kernel source tree or building externally to the
+kernel.
+
+QUICKSTART
+----------
+
+To patch against the kernel (as the proper user w/ permissions to alter
+the kernel source tree):
+
+# tar xzvf lm-sensors-x.x.x.tar.gz
+# cd lm-sensors-x.x.x
+# cd i2c
+[ Read COPYING, README, INSTALL, and other docs as needed ]
+# mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux | patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux
+# cd ../lm_sensors2
+[ Read COPYING, README, INSTALL, and other docs as needed ]
+# mkpatch/mkpatch.pl . /usr/src/linux | patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux
+# cd /usr/src/linux
+# make clean
+
+Then configure, build, and install your kernel as usual.
+
+You will notice the you have some new kernel configuration options to use.
+
+To build the package independently of the kernel, please read the README's
+and INSTALLs in i2c and lm_sensors2.
+
+
+Enjoy!
