 Hello everyone, I fixed my sound problem recently.  To bring everyone up

 needed to load the soundlow module for it to work.  Now that said.  I have
 a question on making a sound with the ^G.  I am trying to insert the
 bell character in the file debian.txt file found on the bootdists.  I am
 using emacs so at the bottom of the file i do C-q C-g and it is inserts a
 ^G where i want it. If i cat or do a more on the file i here the bell but
 when i use the disk i see a diamond just before the boot: prompt.  can
 anyone help me.  if sending you the file helps let me know.  thanking you
 in advance,

syslinux is in charge when you boot the disk, so no linux kernel is
running who could interpret this ascii code (not to mention a sound
driver). You have to check syslinux whether it is possible to do a
bell at the prompt (and how to do it).
