Fedora Core5 and boot time

JulienPDX · 07-01-2006, 11:54 PM

Hi

My Fedora installation has it being the primary boot target and i'm only given 5 seconds to exit out before it auto-boots.

how can i extend the amount of time in Grub to make a boot decision? thanks

in /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf whichever you have, look for the line

Quote:

timeout 5

and change the number to whatever you want

In the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, change the value on the line "timeout=5" to whatever value you want.

If you want to change what is booted by default, change the value on the line "default=x" to whichever entry you want to boot by default. Remember that the first entry is numbered 0.

I hope this helps
