Does anyone else hear the linus torvalds message? I used to have my tablet in spanish, but now i switched back to English and it sounds on my startup. Its kinda funny, but I would like to have the option to shut it off sometimes.
Also, long ago I posted this as a How To: for silencing the start-up sound. I suppose it still works.

Maybe a thread where we post our custom startup sounds? Still waiting to see a custom startup screen with the Nokia hands and the caption:
Come into my van, little boy, and I'll give you some candy
That caption has been in my head ever since someone said that the picture was creepy, I looked at it again trying to see what was creepy about it...

After any crash or unexpected shutdown from an ext2-based cloned system, you should reboot from flash, and wait till the check is completed, to avoid corruption of the filesystem; the sound serves the useful purpose of letting you know when it's complete, and you can reboot to the SD. (If you convert to ext3, which is journaled, this fsck is not necessary at all...)
As for removing it, Penguinbait has posted specific instructions somewhere about...
*points to search*
(I'd tell you if I knew, but I've never actually used any of PB's SD packages.)
