Thanks, Gael!
I thought I was going to lose my MIND over this one.....I kept forgetting to
disable the numlock on my laptop......
I have a related question for you, though: I've also installed Mandrake 5.3
on my desktop (Dell PII-400) and when I boot into Mandrake, my Num lock key
is on (which is how I want it). Funny thing is, once I switch to KDE, my
Num lock is deactivated!!
I'd like to have it on at all times; any more tricks left up your sleeve????
;-)
Thanks Again!
