After several weeks of playing around on the live cd I went ahead and installed 8.04 on my hard drive and have not regret it yet. Although I do have some stuff that I need help on.

1) How do I turn on my numlock key automatically, prior to entering my password for the login screen.

2) I have Compiz up and working but i want to have the whole 3D cube like effect. When I do the ctrl + alt + [left or right] it only toggles between my two workspaces. This leads me to believe that I need at least 4 work spaces to have the nice cube look. Can anyone tell me how to add more workspaces

thank you
Jinx

Right click on the desktop icons in the bar and go to preferences.

This should turn on your numlock at startup.
