My T23 is running DSL 3.01 smoothly, including the minipci wireless card (cheers!)
but the "bell" from BASH is quit annoying. Everytime I backspace on an empty line, a bell pops up. I don't want to totally turn off the master volume coz I like listening to NPR radio station. Any other solutions?

Thanks

for X, run xset b 0

and/or use setterm -blength 0
and/or in add set bell-style none to /etc/inputrc

to mods/other people in general: does this count as user feedback? O.o
