number pads for laptops

Someone at my LUG has managed to help me get Ubuntu Breezy working on my
laptop by doing a complete fresh install which seems to have solved the
problem of the corrupt or missing files which caused the problem with me
connecting to the Internet using my wireless card where my LUG meets and
have got Gnopernicus running.
However we have had a couple of problems, one being Gnopernicus stopped
speaking at some point for some reason and we kept getting an error message
about no speech although hopefully now that my laptop is off, when I reboot
I am hoping this problem will sort itself out when I do my total re-boot.
The other problem is that it does require a numeric pad.
If I bought one for my Compaq laptop, where would I plug it in, would it
automatically be detected in Ubuntu and will it give me access to
Gnopernicus commands which are key layers?
Can I also change my Hostname without having to do a full installation?
Also I notice on this list the mention of Dappa. It seems to be mentioned in
the installation guide for Ubuntu but I notice that it isn't out yet and
that it mentions April being the due month for release on the Ubuntu site.
What puzzles me is why it is now refered to in the installation guide, how
people have been able to obtain it before the release date and yet it isn't
on the download link of the Ubuntu site.
