Change boot menu time?
 
On my partner's duel boot computer (Windows 7 & Linux Mint 17.1) after an update and grub upgrade the time the choices menu stays on screen is only a few seconds.

How do I extend that time from a few seconds to about 15 seconds that will give her enough time to choose her OS of choice?

Thanks,

gael

Backup before editng in case something goes wrong

Code:
harry@tramp:~
$ cd /etc/default
harry@tramp:/etc/default
$ ls
acpid        console-setup  gdomap  irqbalance  ntpdate  smartmontools  wicd
acpi-support  cron          grub    keyboard    numlockx  ssh
avahi-daemon  cryptdisks    halt    locale      rcS      tmpfs
bluetooth    dbus          hdparm  networking  rsync    ufw
bsdmainutils  devpts        hwclock  nfs-common  rsyslog  unclutter
cacerts      extlinux      ifplugd  nss        saned    useradd
harry@tramp:/etc/default
$ cp grub grub.old
cp: cannot create regular file grub.old: Permission denied
harry@tramp:/etc/default
$ su
Password:
root@tramp:/etc/default# cp grub grub.old
root@tramp:/etc/default# ls
acpid              cron          grub.old    locale          rsync          unclutter
acpi-support  cryptdisks  halt        networking  rsyslog          useradd
avahi-daemon  dbus          hdparm      nfs-common  saned          wicd
bluetooth      devpts          hwclock    nss          smartmontools
bsdmainutils  extlinux    ifplugd    ntpdate          ssh
cacerts        gdomap          irqbalance  numlockx    tmpfs
console-setup  grub          keyboard    rcS          ufw
grub.old is now my original file made into a backup before I edit the grub file.
