REALLY dumb question
How can I defalut RH9 to turn on num-lock during bootup? I know that is probably a very random, stupid question but it is really getting on my nerves. thanks

there will be a setting in your BIOS that will make it boot numlock on

How come the windowz turn it on when it boots up?

Ok, it's really quite simple. You can fiddle with the BIOS to your heart's content, but you can also set it up on booting! I'm going to presume you boot into a GUI login (runlevel 5).
Login. Open a terminal. Change to root by typing su root and then enter root's password. Move to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d (cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d) Make a symlink to the numlock script, beginning with SXX (ln -s ../init.d/numlock ./S85numlock) Next time you boot it should enable numlock for you. Simple! If you're not comfortable with that, then you can use a program like tksysv to edit what is started at boottime, and at which runlevel. Hope this helps. |
Not sure I understand what the instructions are here.
I got into the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d directory however I'm a little lost after that point. Can you give me more detailed instructions on how to? |
Just type in what Thymox posted in bold, and you should be sweet.
e.g. Open a terminal su root then enter root password cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d ln -s ../init.d/numlock ./S85numlock Just copy and paste :D |

That didn't seem to work for me. Maybe I did it wrong... maybe I'm just tired. Who knows anymore.
I need sleep. |

OT (again): Well if you really do have two sheds, perhaps you might either get a third, just to distinguish yourself. http://modrzew.stopklatka.pl/artur.html
