Take the speaker out. That speaker can help sometimes though, so if you aren't too bothered, I would suggest keeping it. I will poke around and see what I can find, if you can stop it somehow using commands of some sort.
Cool

If you are running X and sound system is working, have you tried to turn the volume down or mute it?
Also, you might want to look at the file /etc/inputrc. It should contain a line that is remarked out.
#set bell-style none
Remove the remark hash. You will have to logout and back in for it to take effect.

I prefer running in run level 4. The login menu thens allows you to choose the window manager desired.
To change the default runlevel, edit the file /etc/inittab. Change the line from 3 to 4, like below.
id:4:initdefault:
Since I do not use startx, except when testing after install. I do not know how to change that default setting. I know it is set during the setup program install. Somebody else here at LQ will probably know how to change it.

Nautilus, I am thinking you mean when you type startx to have it start KDE?
xwmconfig and select what you want.
Cool

Hey, this trick is really cool. I like Unix/Linux, but I get always a head ache because of that annoying beep. Now things are different, at least in my RedHat linux.
Thanks a lot Excalibur.

The "vi" command is normally just a symlink to another editor, whether be elvis or vim, or emacs, or something. Try using "whereis vi" and then using "ls -l" on the result to see what it is set to. To my knowledge and experience, none of my editors have ever made a sound when I exit the program. Once, you know what editor it is, then maybe you will be able to locate something on the editor configuration that would allow you to correct it.

there is a sym link from vi -> elvis*.
i tried locating everything that had "elvis" on it and found an .ini file....weird. how do i turn off teh sound in elvis?
is there s default console mixer so i can turn down the volume on the system beep? the only reason i dont like this beep is because its so loud.
