How do I stop the initial 2 boot-beeps when I boot DSL?  My speakers on my laptop are REAL loud, so its disrupting when Im programming at night in my dorm room.

Also, how do I stop Dillo from opening @ startup?

in the file called .xinitrc which you will find at /home/dsl you need to edit the line that starts with "dillo /usr/share......" by placing a # in front of the word "dillo"

i have no clue about that beep.

EDIT: i added the word 'no' in front of clue.

Emelfm tells me that /home/dsl/.xinitrc does not exist.  What do I do?

It does exist - it's just hidden (any files starting with a . are hidden  in Linux). Press the H button next to the path at the top in emelfm to show hidden files.

Two boot beeps are usually emitted by laptops with pcmcia ethernet cards when these cards are detected at bootup.  The beeps are also emitted at shutdown.

The hardcore-geek way for solving this problem would be to edit that module that gets loaded for the pcmcia card.  On the other hand, you can just put your hand to cover the speakers at this stage of the boot-up.
