Hi, I am using an apple aluminum keyboard on my computer with Jaunty installed. The keyboard is great however I am using the one without the number pad which also means this keyboard is lacking a Delete Key.
Is there any way to somehow assign the delete key to one of the Fuction keys at the top? Like F5 or F6?
Can someone tell me how to do this, any helpful response is appreciated.

if it has a function key, try pressing that with backspace and it should act as delete

No the function key actually does nothing at whatsoever.
The function key is not fuctional.... ohhhhhh irony..

I have a module hid_apple which activates the fn key. Check if it is there using
$ lsmod | grep apple
