Re: numlock and twm [was Re: get leds on after bootup. Newbie #61]
Hi,
a good thread going here .......... _but_
a. am running in console mode so have no fears of what will happen
in x mode
b. i still am unsure of what to do after finding out that debian
does not use rclocal and not comprehending the instructions given
by Colin (as per my 9th Dec reply).
Can anyone please amplify Colins instruction at a really basic
level.
Thanks
Ian
