Configuring grub / grub2 to indicate the boot menu items

[Janitha Rukmal]

  Hi all,

I just remember there was an interesting discussion going on about 
Configuring grub / grub 2 to indicate boot menu items via beeps. Can 
somebody please do a recap as in how to do it right without getting the 
whole thing messed up. I'm asking this great favor because I found it 
rather confusing when following the trails through archives. Moreover 
such a recap would be greatly appreciated by many who need the same 
thing to be done. It'll be much much better if the recap would be done 
in a way that makes it easier for Linux newbies also to catchup.
Many thanks in advance!
Awaiting a positive reply
