"fi" simply closes an "if" statement.  If you're looking for a bell in a shell script it would be something like this: echo -e "\a"

I'd say that recompiling a module just to get rid of a couple of beeps is massive overkill.  Try disconnecting the system speaker instead.
Or add something like this to the beginning of the startup script mentioned above:
setterm -term linux -blength 0 > /dev/tty1

How often is the system speaker useful?  Personally I have never needed it once the machine gets through POST.

I appreciate the help, but I've already switched the BeatrIX.  It's now my primary OS.  Thanks for all the help everyone has given me in my time in these forums. ;)

I know it's too late, but wouldn't BeatrIX still beep?  I know that Windows ME beeps as well...  think it's a fairly standard part of an OS, a notification that it has found a PCMCIA card.
Of course, depending on what you use the card for, you could always try just taking it out.  Not much help if it's network or something...
