the weather is warmer... but Feisty is still freezing

[Anthony J Brow]

Thanks Moshi.

Now I managed ( I think), to untar the package stated in your prev
email. It shows:

# Makefile for powernowd.. -very- simple.
#

all: powernow

powernow:
	gcc -O2 -Wall -o powernowd powernowd.c

install:
	install -m 755 powernowd /usr/sbin

So could you tell me what I do with this, please ?
