I think Dennis has a good point. We are looking at two issues that
should be *really* simple to do something about.
- graphic background for grub on install cd/dvd
- numlock on by default
What do others think?
If you mean "we'd like to switch numlock on by default";
I think I'm ging to have to kill you.
Ifyou mean "we'd like to switch numlock off by default",
then that would be great. Especially since you do need
the arrows bu tnot the digits during install.
I *never* used the numbers on the numeric keypad.
On the other hand I never use the pageup/pagedown on the numeric
keypad because all those keys exist elsewhere.
I don't even really understand why a full size keyboard like
a Sun type 6/7 even needs the different states.
On MacOS X there is no way to ever change the state of NumLock
is is always On. Even on a Sun Type 6.
I think the real problem here is that the terminal settings
at this point during boot are not sufficiently sane that
"1" sent "End" and it was interpreted as End or properly ignored; rather
than displaying the control sequence. If that were the case the user
would probably have noticed NumLock wasn't on and either turn it on
or used the "1" on the main keyboard.
I often see this issue as well and it is very annoying.
