How do I get Numlock to be on as standard in Fedora Core 4? Would
like it for all users if possible.

You can install the numlock binary by downloading and installing the
following rpm:
numlock-0.1-0.0.yjl.1.i386.rpm
If you have configured yum to use my YJL Packages repository, you
can just (as root) run:
yum install numlock
Oooh, this looks terrific. Follow up question then:
How do I set up a startingprogram for all users? This guide only
tells me how to start this program for each user...
How about system wide with it happening for the console and X.
Is there a line for /etc/inputrc?
After numlock-0.1-0.0.yjl.1.i386.rpm is installed & a user activates
numlock following the instructions, a file named "session-manual" is
created in the user's /.gnome2 directory with the following code;
#[Default]
#num_clients=1
#0,RestartStyleHint=3
#0,Priority=50
#0,RestartCommand=/usr/bin/numlock
Now, I just finished creating the file "session-maunal" (using gedit),
copied "session-manual" to every user's /.gnome2 directory on a four
user system (fc3) & all four users now have the number lock key
activated upon login. When the user logs out, thenumer lock deactivates.
Also, I had to change the ownership of "session-manual" to match each
individual user. Looks like maybe the author of numlock, had the intent,
of giving the user the choice of having the number lock key on by
default eh?
