I have found one minor annoyance, though - the console beep. Presumably there's a way to change this (perhaps by fooling around with the kernel sources?), but before I do anything really silly, I'd like to know if there's a "correct" way to fix this (ideally, I'd like to replace it with either a visual cue, or by dumping something to /dev/audio). Any pointers gratefully received. Matt
