Re: re lilo

[Ryan Shugart <ryan lothlorien nfbcal org>]

Someone once told me that it would not be too hard to build a custom Lilo 
that made a beep everytime a letter is printed.  From what he explained, 
Lilo runs a series of checks before it presents the boot prompt, and for 
every check it prints a letter, aka l, i, l and o.  So what this person 
was suggestiong that something could be coded in so that it beeps every 
time a letter is printed, so that if there was a problem you'd know about 
it, if  it didn't make four beeps all is not well.
