[ale] RH8.0 Num Lock on Bootup

[Keith Morris]

I had exactly the same problem.  Someone on this list suggested the
following program and it works like a charm (at least in RH8 it does)

http://ftp.silug.org/pub/ltsp/setnumlock.tar.gz

I compiled it and put it in /usr/bin and then (from the README)

" If you use GDM
   Edit the /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default file.
   on some distributions (Debian) it may be /etc/gdm/Init/Default
   Add the line
		/usr/bin/setnumlock
   to the end of the file"

Works perfectly everytime!
