which does absolutly nothing because the linux kernel does not use the
BIOS keyboard driver, it loads it's own reinitiallizing the keyboard
in the process (clearing the numlock). 95% of everything in the PC
BIOS is irrelevant cruft as far as GNU/Linux is concerned.
instead add this to your ~/.bash_profile
case $(basename `tty`) in
tty[1-9])
setleds +num
;;
esac
there is a X11 based version of setleds too but i can't remember what
its called (nor find the package for it...)
