adding the following to your .emacs will display line numbers in the
modeline:

(setq line-number-mode 1)

1 - Please turn off HTML when posting to a newsgroup.  Not all of us

2 - Why do you want to display the line number?

If it's to be able to see what line the cursor is on, emacs, I think
by default, displays the line number in the modeline.

If it's to be able to goto a specific line, 

	M-x goto-line

is convenient.

If it's to step through compiler errors or the output of grep, 

	M-x next-error

is convenient.

setnu.el gives you line numbers in column one.  Have a look at

I just installed wb-line-number.el and I find it much nicer than setnu.el.
