I'm wondering how I can get the 'NumLock' to be switched on at boot, it can get annoying having to remember to switch it on. I'm using Blag (basically FC5).

Thanks,

There are options on the BIOS, or Xnumlock, which will switch on numlock for X.
I am not sure if that is in the BLAG yum repo's but I can check tonight..
