How about the plain old lock-file trick? First thing the script does is check if

I must say that my GeForce works well under Linux. However, it is a very
expensive card and not really intended for Linux so you should consider
something a little less expensive. The TNT and TNT2 cards are a good buy, and
you shouldn't have any trouble with the majority of SB sound cards.

Well, it's a Unix convention dating back at least 20 years (and I
presume all the way back to 1972 or thereabouts) that a file starting
with a dot is a hidden file.
That is, in order to reduce clutter, you can name a file starting with
a dot and then it won't be shown with an ordinary ls command

The System.map file is theoretically used only for "debugging" type
stuff but the original user's report makes me wonder if it does
something more critical.
