Well, I did 

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
then
apt-get install numlockx
then 
vim /etc/rc.local
and pasted
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
  /usr/bin/numlockx on
fi
above "exit 0" and restarted the client.  The NumLock light is on when the client boots,
but the 10-key doesn't work unless I hit numlock to turn it off then back on again.  And
after I log out the numlock light is back off.

I also run gnome-watchdog, but since this is happening before login I wouldn't think
that would affect anything.

If anyone has any other suggestions let me know.

Thanks,
Jim
