Summary	0003711: removing beep from boot menu
Description	One day I was messing around with persitence configuration and kept rebooting many times and that "beep" thing got into me. "The quieter You become..." I fantasized being on field work and being "caught" by beep behind dumpster :). I then modified iso to remove 0x07 after "Boot menu" and problem solved. Do we really need that beep upon boot? I'd love to go quieter with this.

muts 2016-11-05 20:50 reporter ~0006106	Feel free to make the required modification to suit your particular needs. We will not be changing the default action of the beep at boot time due to many reasons, accessibility (eg allowing blind Kali users to interact with the system) being the primary.
