	distributed under the same terms as Link Monitor Applet.

1. Requirements

	Link Monitor Applet requires the following libraries:

		* GTK+ (version 2.4.0 or superior)
		  http://www.gtk.org/

		* GNOME (version 2.0 or superior)
		  http://www.gnome.org/

2. Instructions

	Link Monitor Applet uses the well-known GNU build
	system. Hence, the following usual sequence will probably
	satisfy most users:

		$ ./configure
		$ make
		<get root privileges>
		$ make install

	Important: the install phase will enable the setuid bit on the
	link-monitor-applet binary (root privileges are needed to
	create the ICMP and ICMPv6 sockets upon applet startup; they
	will be dropped after that step), therefore you need to run
	the install phase as root.

	The ./configure script behaviour can be changed using
	command-line options: type "./configure --help" for an
	exhaustive list.
