+KNETLoad
+
+This file should only be read as a fast description. The online
+KNetLoad handbook contains more detailed information.
+
+This is a network throughput meter for Kicker (the KDE panel). It will
+show the traffic on a network device with two diagrams, one for outgoing and
+one for incoming data. KNetLoad can read almost any device that is listed
+in the /proc/net/dev file, which includes eth0, ppp0, ippp0 and many others;
+even non predefined devices can be typed into the program. The colors, style
+and speed of the diagrams can be configured.
+
+To bring up the settings menu, simply right click on the diagram. Before
+KNetLoad will work you must define what device it should use, and set the
+correct scaling value which depends on the speed of your network device.
+
+Left click on the diagram to bring up a small information box which will
+show the exact input and output speeds in text form, and the total amount
+of outgoing and incoming data.
+
+Install:
+
+./configure
+make
+make install
