[IPython-user] small problem and feature request for 0.8 egg

[Ryan Krauss]

When I type %upgrade, it prints some potentially useful information
briefly and then starts printing jiberish and then starts beeping the
system speaker in an unbelievable annoying manner (loud and
repetative).

I am trying to create an effortless install for my students, so
editting a custom RC file seems like a bad idea - unless an egg can be
created that installs this RC file automatically.
