While translating the file hddtemp, I encountered the following typos, which I thought you might like to eliminate in a future release.

You have the option of starting the hddtemp daemon automatically on the
computer startup. **If in doubt, I suggest you not to start automatically it on startup.** If you later change your mind, you can run: 'dpkg- reconfigure
hddtemp'.

(Not an easy sentence. A correct way to write it is:

"If in doubt, I suggest you _not start it automatically_ on startup."

Usage:

(person) (suggest/advise/recommend) you (do/not do) (something) (in this way).

Examples:

We advise you_ to do_ this immediately.

I suggest you _not do_ that in a hurry.

The "not" is part of the verb here: the negative form of the verb. A good rule is never _to break up_ the verb form: to do, not do, have done, will do etc.
