+cpufreqd is meant to be a replacement of the speedstep applet you
+can find on some other OS; it monitors cpu usage, battery level,
+AC state, and running programs and adjusts the frequency governor
+according to a set of rules specified in the config file.
+You need a CPUFreq driver and either APM, ACPI (a recent version)
+or PMU enabled in your kernel config in order for this deamon to work.
+
+You will also need to have the cpufrequtils package (which includes
+libcpufreq) installed in order to build cpufreqd, and cpufreqd can
+make use of libsensors and/or nvclock if you have them installed -
+see the documentation included with the source tarball for more details.
