A: If you want numlock to be on whenever you start X (the graphical mode of Fedora): 1. Open a Terminal. 2. Become root. 3. Install the "numlockx" program: yum install numlockx Now numlock will be on every time you start X. If you want numlock on by default you're in text mode: 1. Open a Terminal. 2. Become root. 3. Install the "kbd" package: yum install kbd 4. Edit the /etc/rc.local file: nano /etc/rc.local 5. Find the line that looks like: touch /var/lock/subsys/local Right below that line, put these lines: LEDTTY=/dev/tty[1-8] for tty in $LEDTTY; do setleds -D +num < $tty done 6. Save the file, and the next time you restart your computer, numlock will be on in text mode Best Regards, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
