How to increase Grub boot wait time on Dual OS RHEL 5 and Windows XP
 
I have installed Windows XP and then RHEL 5 on a new partition. While booting the machine, the grub waits for only 2 seconds which is highly insufficient. How to increase this wait time or disable auto booting and booting wait indefinitely. Thanks in advance.

You need to edit /etc/grub.conf and change timeout= to whatever you want. Look for this...
Code:
default=1
timeout=20
