First of I've got to say this. I just discovered Debian 4 and man am I
impressed! It took half a day to do it because the server in calgary was
slow, but I installed Debian 4 on a LOWLY 333MHz 386 with 128MBs of RAM on a
5.2GIG HDD and it didn't only install, it actually goes like stink. Heaps
better than the Windoze 1898 SE that it came installed with.

Now to my question.

How do I enable system sounds in Debian 4? I know my speakers work. I've
paid music. But I just can't see in the repositories where wave files or
system sounds might be hiding. Thanks.

My system sounds are in gnome-audio but presumably you are not running
gnome. What desktop system, if any, are you running and, if you are not
running a GUI, when do you expect system sounds to be played?

He might well be running GNOME because the gnome-audio package is not
installed by default. After installing it you need to configure GNOME to
use sounds.

Good. Have the reached the point yet where the sounds have become so
annoying that you want help to make them go away ;-)
