Grub


I had a question, not really relevant until i get XP fixed, but how do I increase the wait time on GRUB? Anything i found on google was not really newbie-friendly, and 3 seconds is rather short.

Edit /etc/grub.conf. In it, you'll see the timeout; increase it to whatever value you want. I use:

timeout=15
