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
