I just checked.... numlock comes up ON if you select that during install. if you tap numlock once or select for it to be OFF by default during install.... number pad arrow keys move the cursor and shift-numeric selects text If you have numlock ON then shift plus numeric key selects text, not produces numbers. 9.0 has (mostly) working supermount. you need to back off (not close) on the /mnt/cdrom directory in Konqueror or it will not eject properly. That is a KDE problem. Civileme
