Grub


(Sorry in advance if this belongs elsewhere)

How does one make GRUB boot without showing all the possible booting options?

On an ubuntu laptop, somehow, GRUB shows this message:

"Presse ESCAPE to get into the menu"

Then it counts down from 2 and then automatically stats booting into the default chosen boot location (stage 2?). Is there an option to set this somewhere?

In Menu.lst file under /boot/grub there is an option called "hidemenu" that does the trick.
