- xload is based on the ps-package to get the necessary load-info from
- the kernel. Unfortunately with every new kernel & patchlevel you need
- a slightly different ps. Fortunately the part xload uses seems to be
- unaffected. At least my xload, that is untouched since 0.96c or so
- still (seems to) work. And now I am using 97pl2 on home machine and
- 97pl4 on notebook.

- What you need for linking xload is a file called no_update.o that
- you can generate by installing the ps-package. Link this file
- with xload and you should at least get an executable.
- If you are lucky, xload will even display some load.
