Smile how to switch num-lock on when boot?

Hello,

I want to see my num-lock switched on when system just loaded up. AFAIR I can easily do it in Xorg (but I did not yet), well, what should I do in console in this aim? I use xkb.

Thanks in advance,

Igor

An old reply to this often asked question by user: dracae (Hmmm. Haven't seen him lately.) Works great in Debian; may work in other distros, as well.

install console-tools if not already, add

to /etc/console-tools/config

Yes, I used to do thus.
Then I migrated to kbd (console-tools and kbd conflicts with each other) and now I have no idea concerning num-lock led.
