Lside is a software tool that provides users with detailed information about the IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) devices installed on their computer system. It offers an easy-to-use interface that displays all the relevant data regarding the IDE devices, simplifying system monitoring and management.
Lside is an exceptionally useful tool for displaying information about IDE devices on your Linux system. However, it is worth noting that in order to make the most of this program, you will need to have a Linux kernel that supports the /proc/ide interface. This can be easily checked and updated if necessary.
In terms of installation, Lside is straightforward and can be compiled and installed using just a few simple steps. Firstly, navigate to the directory that contains the package's source code and execute the `./configure' command to configure the package for your system. If you are using `csh' on an older version of System V, it is recommended that you use `sh ./configure' instead to prevent any issues with the `configure' command.
Once you have run the `configure' command, it is important to note that it may take a while to complete. During this time, it will print some messages informing you of the features it is checking for. Once this is complete, the next step is to execute the `make' command to compile the package. If you would like to run any self-tests, use the `make check' command. Finally, to install the programs, data files and documentation, execute the `make install' command.
If you wish to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, enter `make clean'. If you would like to also delete the files created by the `configure' command so that you can compile the package for a different kind of computer, execute `make distclean'. It is worth noting that there is a `make maintainer-clean' target, but this is primarily for the package's developers. If you choose to utilize it, you may need to get additional programs to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Overall, Lside is a fantastic tool for displaying information about IDE devices in your Linux system, and the installation process is user-friendly and easy to follow.
