 == OVERVIEW ==
 smartmontools contains utilities that control and monitor storage
 devices using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
-(S.M.A.R.T.) system build into ATA and SCSI Hard Drives. This is used
-to check the reliability of the hard drive and to predict drive
-failures.  smartmontools Version 5.x is designed to comply to the
-ATA/ATAPI-5 specification (Revision 1).  Future releases of
-smartmontools (Versions 6.x and 7.x) will comply with the ATA/ATAPI-6
-and ATA/ATAPI-7 specifications.

-This package is meant to be an up-to-date replacement for the
-ucsc-smartsuite and smartsuite packages, and is derived from that
-code.
