Contributor rsmcclure on Live CD installer

turn num-lock key on durring boot  
Written by tommynz1975 the 9 Feb 10 at 21:41. Not an idea
Num-lock key is off until you hit num-lock at the login screen or after login process.

The current solution is to install numlockx

Solution #1: install/setup numlockx during install
Written by tommynz1975 the 9 Feb 10 at 21:41.
having this installed at the 1st instances saves the 1st aggravation of having to hit the num-lock button constantly.

Then when you give up on this having to search to see if it can be automatically done for you.

I realise half the fun is to search and discover, but a new user might think it a little flaky not to have this setup to begin with. I have used and loved Ubuntu for near on 4 years.
