GNOME Questions
billy_gates:
thanks for your help, but one more. How do I make the numlock be one when the computer is finished booting?
Master of Reality:
*sigh*
well... in KDE you go control panel>peripherals>keyboard>numlock on at startup
with Gnome you will probably have to write a small shell script to turn it on globally in linux.
I will post here again in a few minutes.
Master of Reality:
alright. You use the setleds command to set numlock on (this command also sets caplocks and scroll lock).
here is a shell script that'll turn on numlock in every console.

i put that in /etc/rc.d/rc.setnum (and made it executable)
and put this line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# set numlock
/etc/rc.d/rc.setnum
i did this on Evil Entity 2.4 but it should work in all distros.
Master of Reality:
am i starting to sound like void main?
Maybe i should start my own linux tips website just to compete with void main.

Please do!!!! I haven't had the focus to write more. I really want to do the PDC HOWTO and as soon as I write the first line I could have it done in a matter of an hour or so. It's writing the first line that I'm having a problem with.
And you stole that setleds snippet directly out of the setleds man page. Two points for for saving work! I believe you are catching on.
