+FREQUENCY SELECTOR
+------------------

+The applet includes a generic command line tool to change the cpu frequency.
+This tool is 'cpufreq-selector'. The cpufreq-selector will be installed under
+$prefix/bin/ where $prefix is the prefix selected to compile the applet.
+Once the cpufreq-selector is installed it can be used from the command line
+
+ $ cpufreq-selector -f <frequency_in_KHz>
+ $ cpufreq-selector -g <governor>
+
+To change the frequency from the applet, simply click on the applet and
+a menu will be shown with the list of available frequencies.
+
+The cpufreq-selector is installed suid root by default.
+
+To not install the cpufreq-selector:
+
+ $ ./configure [options] --disable-frequency-selector
+
+To not install the cpufreq-selector suid root:
+
+ $ ./configure [options] --enable-suid=no
