Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Beep in serial mode

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

  Yes I was hoping 'mailing dl2' might try it.

There may be a better way to detect a serial console, if someone can 
suggest it. I chose this because it is the way used in install-on-usb 
(e.g. line 492), so it seemed likely to work.
