You are pretty well right - pressing <shift><numlock> does usually nothing.
If you want to manually switch the state of numlock then <fn><numlock> does usually the trick.
Hope that helps.

Hi niftyprose.

Re: Please recommend a Puppy for use with 32 MB of RAM

I was given an old Dell Latitude laptop with a PII processor and 32MB of RAM. A perfect candidate for Puppy! Or so I thought. Puppy 5.3.1 froze when attempting to run from the Live CD, ditto 5.2.8. Wary Puppy 5.2.2 loaded from the CD and seems to be going through the normal startup routine, but I'v...

Try to change the boot option in your menu.lst from "vga=771" to "vga=normal" and boot your Puppy. If this fails try to delete the whole "vga=771" entry and boot your Puppy again.

Hope this helps
