    Question Removing beep in Kali Live 2017.2

    Hi,

    I have a live version of Kali 2017.2 in a USB with persistence installed.

    Everytime I turn on my laptop booting from the USB, a loud beep sounds. I have search how to remove it by removing ^G in the menu.cfg file but I cannot write this file.

    I have search this file in the USB and it is only located on /isolinux/menu.cfg and this partition is read-only. Whenever I try to mount it as rw I get a warning saying it cannot be done.

    Is there any way to avoid this annoying beep?

    Thanks!

    I did search but it seems that I didn't do it properly.
    As far as I understand, I just have to edit the files in the isolinux folder BEFORE I create my live USB, am I right?

    Thanks for your help

    After you create bootable USB then edit the lines.

    If I try to write on the booteable USB I get an error telling me its a read-only partition.

    If you create bootable USB in ISO mode using rufus, you can read-write.

    Make the changes to the grub.cfg file and then generate your ISO. Once the generation is complete then use the PERL script on your new iso file that is mentioned in the thread Crash linked.

    You are right, if I make the bootable USB using rufus instead of Win32DiskImager I can then edit the files and there is no need to modify the ISO.
    Is there any reason for this? What is the difference between both?

    I've never used Win32DiskImager so I don't know what it does.

    Rufus mounts the disk image and burn it on the USB without changing read-write permissions.
