Dear all, In the latest stable Clonezilla live (1.0.10-8), the Numlock is turned on by default. However, maybe it's not a good idea. For a normal desktop PC, the keyboard comes with extra number pad. However, in laptop, this is not true. Therefore if numlock is on, people will confuse when typing alphabets in laptop keyboard. Therefore, how do you all think about this ? Is it a good idea to turn on Numlock by default ?

Numpad button changes a part of the keyboard into a numpad - and numlock switches between the numpad modes. In other words, enabling numlock is perfectly safe. I'm not sure about older laptops, though. |

Konstantin, Thanks for your feedback. Anybody else in the mailing list objects this idea ? If not, we will keep Numlock on by default. Thanks. Steven.
