Unwanted NumLock (was Re: INstall)



In case you're still launching Xy with numlock on, two DOS programs were
posted (I think) on this list a while back that might be of use (sorry, I
can't remember their provenance). You can run the relevant one in
startup.int (e.g., [BC] do [PATH] numlkoff) and you'll be configured the way
you want in Xy no matter what the BIOS setting might be.

Oh I don't think you have to ask Dell. If Dells work anything like
Gateway, during the bootup there is probably at some point where you get
a prompt like

PRESS F2 FOR SETUP or somesuch.
