I believe that you are talking about grub and grub common (grub legacy) while we are talking about grub-pc and grub-common (grub2). To make sure that I was not crazy, not an easy thing to determine, I just tried that out.

Setting the time out to "1" gives you a time out of 1 second. Too fast for this grumpy geezer.

I would set the time out at something like the 100 I set mine at. Actually if you are there when the menu comes up all you really need is enough time to hit one of the arrow keys. This stops the time out.

I am talking about grub2 which is grub-pc
-1 aka "negative" 1

GRUB_TIMEOUT="10" specifies the default timeout. Change to anything you want. Very small values are not recommended. Setting to -1 will make GRUB wait indefinitely until you manually select an entry and hit Enter.

The file must be confusing you because it says # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
Look at your /etc/default/grub the file is the sane.

Gee whiz. The "dash" 1 blow right past me. I do not think I scrolled down the page linked far enough or something. I must have missed that in the other documentation I have read though too. Must be just skimming over stuff that I don't use or something. Too stuck in my ways maybe.

Some times my density approaches perfection.

Anyway, thanks. Not much use to me but it is always nice to know these things. Never know when you may need it.
