[WBEL-users] newbie - kernel and other upgrades questions

[Alon]

I just tried:

yum install kernel-unsupported
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 - i386 - Base
Server: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
kernel-unsupported is installed and is the latest version.
No actions to take

So looks like I have it installed (Yey!).
Now .. how would I run the sensors data?

In a different box  I just typed:   sensors


Here is my yum.conf

less /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
