Hello!
I have a 80gByte harddrive on which I have Windows XP and Fedora Core 2. During Fedora installation I installed the Grub bootloader on the same partition as Fedora, however when setting the bootloader I removed "other" ( windows ) from the bootlist. I did this because I knew I was going to use the ntldr ( wondows bootloader ). Then in windows I modified the boot.ini file so I could boot both Win and Linux. It works great, except for one thing. When ntldr promts for OS and I select Linux, the grub bootloader shows up with only one OS option. So how do I make the Grub to boot linux, or to skip that splasscreen and just boot without prompting for anything.

I've tried to modify the grub.conf in Fedora, but it doesn't allow me - It doesn't permit me to open the file. So how do I access the grub.conf and how do I modify it so it would skip OS prompting?

Best regards,
George Mercury

Um. A file like the grub.conf file is considered to be important to the integrity of your system so logging in as a normal user means that you cannot alter that file. If you do ls -lah in the directory that contains grub.conf, it should show you that root owns the file. So you have to do the following at the command line (or log in as root though that means you should log off again right after finishing the editing.)

/bin/su - (yes the slash is helpful)
enter roots password

now you can edit the file since you have become root.

Do you follow?

Oh and edit the timeout line to be
timeout 0
And now Linux will boot immediately without prompting you (or it should).
