     kernel version greater than or equal to 2.2.14. So any recent
     Linux distribution should support smartmontools.
 

-    There are two parts of smartmontools that may require a patched or
-    nonstandard kernel:
-
-    (1) To get the ATA RETURN SMART STATUS command, the kernel needs
-    to support the HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl().
-
-    (2) To run Selective Self-tests, the kernel needs to support the
-    HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE ioctl().
-
-    If your kernel does not support one or both of these ioctls, then
-    smartmontools will "mostly" work.  The things that don't work will
-    give you harmless warning messages.
-
-    Although "not officially supported" by the developers, smartmontools
-    has also been successfully build and run on a legacy Linux system
-    with kernel 2.0.33 and libc.so.5. On such systems, the restrictions
-    above apply.
-
-    For item (1) above, any 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel will provide
-    HDIO_DRIVE_TASK support.  Some 2.2.20 and later kernels also
-    provide this support IF they're properly patched and
-    configured. [Andre Hedrick's IDE patches may be found at
-    http://www.funet.fi/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.20/ or
-    are available from your local kernel.org mirror.  They are not
-    updated for 2.2.21 or later, and may contain a few bugs.].
-    If the configuration option CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL
-    exists in your 2.2.X kernel source code tree, then your 2.2.X
-    kernel will probably support this ioctl. [Note that this kernel
-    configuration option does NOT need to be enabled. Its presence
-    merely indicates that the required HDIO_DRIVE_TASK ioctl() is
-    supported.]
-
-    For item (2) above, your kernel must be configured with the kernel
-    configuration option CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO enabled.  This
-    configuration option is present in all 2.4 and 2.6 series
-    kernels. Some 2.2.20 and later kernels also provide this support
-    IF they're properly patched and configured as described above.
-
-    Please see FAQ section of the URL above for additional details.
-
-    If you are using 3ware controllers, for full functionality you
-    must either use version 1.02.00.037 or greater of the 3w-xxxx
-    driver, or patch earlier 3ware 3w-xxxx drivers.  See
-    http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/3w-xxxx.txt
-    for the patch.  The version 1.02.00.037 3w-xxxx.c driver was
-    incorporated into kernel 2.4.23-bk2 on 3 December 2003 and into
-    kernel 2.6.0-test5-bk11 on 23 September 2003.

-    The code was tested on Windows 98SE, NT4(SP5,SP6), 2000(SP4),
-    XP(no SP,SP1a,SP2) and Vista RC 1. It should also work on Windows
-    95(OSR2), 98, ME and 2003.
-
-    On 9x/ME, only standard (legacy) IDE/ATA devices 0-3 are supported.
-    The driver SMARTVSD.VXD must be present in WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
-    to get loaded at Windows startup. The default location in a new
-    installation of some versions of Windows is the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder.
-    In this case, move SMARTVSD.VXD to WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS and reboot
-    (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/265854/en-us).
-    SMARTVSD.VXD may also be missing in a new installation
-    (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199886/en-us).
-
-    SMARTVSD.VXD relies on the standard IDE port driver ESDI_506.PDR.
-    If the system uses a vendor specific driver, access of SMART data
-    is not possible on 9x/ME. This is the case if e.g. the optional
-    "IDE miniport driver" is installed on a system with VIA chipset.
-
-    Some ATA controllers (e.g. Promise) provided a custom SMARTVSD.VXD
-    for their Win9x/ME driver. To access SMART data from both the legacy
-    (/dev/h[a-d]) and this additional (/dev/hd[e-h]) controller, rename
-    this file to SMARTVSE.VXD. Open the file with a hex editor and replace
-    all occurrences of the string "SMARTVSD" with "SMARTVSE". Then reinstall
-    the original Windows SMARTVSD.VXD.
-
-    On NT4/2000/XP/2003, ATA or SATA devices are supported if the device
-    driver implements the SMART IOCTL.
-
-    The IDE/ATA read log command (smartctl -l, --log, -a, --all) is
-    not supported by the SMART IOCTL of NT4/2000/XP. Undocumented
-    and possibly buggy system calls are used for this purpose,
-    see WARNINGS file for details.
-
-    SCSI devices are supported on all versions of Windows. An installed
-    ASPI interface (WNASPI32.DLL) is required to access SCSI devices.
-    The code was tested with Adaptec Windows ASPI drivers 4.71.2.
-    (http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi_soft/ASPI/ASPI-4.70/)
-    Links to other ASPI drivers can be found at http://www.nu2.nu/aspi/.
-
-    3ware 9000 RAID controllers are supported using new features available
-    in the Windows driver release 9.4.0 (3wareDrv.sys 3.0.2.70) or later.
-    Older drivers provide SMART access to the first physical drive (port)
-    of each logical drive (unit). If driver support is not available
-    (7000/8000 series, 9000 on XP 64), smartctl can be used to parse SMART
-    data output from CLI or 3DM.
+    The code was tested on Windows XP SP3, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1
+    and Windows 10 up to 1709.  Support von Windows 9x/ME and NT4 was
+    removed after smartmontools 5.43.
+
+    ATA or SATA devices are supported if the device driver implements
+    the SMART IOCTLs or IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH or IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH.
+    Only the latter provides full pass-through support which is needed
+    for all smartmontools features.
+
+    SATA devices behind a Intel RST driver are accessed through CSMI.
+
+    SCSI and USB devices are accessed through SPTI. Special driver support
+    is not required.

+The defaults for --with-initscriptdir and --with-systemdsystemunitdir are
+guessed such that the following rules apply:
+- If --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc is specified, the guessed directories
+  should be the defaults used by the current OS or distribution.
+- If --sysconfdir=/etc is NOT specified, the guessed directories should
+  always be below ${prefix} or below ${sysconfdir}.

 
 Here's an example:
 If you set --prefix=/home/joe and none of the other four
 variables then the different directories that are used would be:
 --sbindir             /home/joe/sbin
