huh?

I have automatix. what do you mean by using their repo sources i should be able to find i8kutils? i'm sorry.. but i really am completely new to linux and am now trying to learn these things..

also i tried the 1. sudo apt-get install i8kutils gkrellm gkrellm-i8k but i get Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package i8kutils what does that mean?

Extract with tar xvf dellfand-0.7.tar.bz2 Build with cd dellfand-0.7; make Thats the directions on the website... I tried doing that but g++ -Wall -02 dellfand.cc -0 dellfand make: g++; Command not found make: *** [dellfand] Error...

i downloaded the file i8kutils_1.25.tar.gz from the first link you sent. Is that the correct one? I have now no idea what to do with that file
