To enable it. Maybe you can put it in one of the sysconfig files, somebody here will know :-)

To do this on boot, add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf:

kernel.sysrq = 1

If you change on the file, you can make it live on the system by running "sysctl -p" (which will read /etc/sysctl.conf and do the equivalent of "echo ... >/proc/sys/.../..." for each of the settings in that file).

Thanks! I will make those changes, in the morning, when I'm more alert.
