tags 411552 patch
thanks
Here's a patch that:
- adds two beeps when prompt is displayed
- sets timeout to 5 minutes
Unfortunately I can't test it right now, since it needs real hardware and I
run out of blank CDs. I'll try this sunday if nobody beats me to it.
Btw, if someone wants to try, be careful when appliing the ^G hunk (no
copy-pasting).
