Well, again, you haven't said what kernel you're using. You haven't said whether you're using a stock Debian kernel, or one that you built yourself. As I said, that's what determines what you need to download. Without that bit of information, I don't know what you need. If you built your own kernel . . .I went to http://www.debian.org/ , clicked on "Mailing List Archives", clicked on "our archives can also be searched", used the Google form, and searched on "lm-sensors i2c modules install", looked at several of the responses, and came upon a reply to this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/02/msg00729.html which is a pretty good step-by-step description. OTOH, if you didn't build your kernel yourself, then you have to install the appropriate packages. Which packages depends on which kernel, and only you can say what kernel you're running. If you installed a Debian kernel, but don't know what kernel it is, the "uname" command can help you. -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
