Removing the automatic timer in Grub2


In the last few days I have setup Grub2 (v1.99 I believe) for my tri-boot laptop. I've got all three partitions to boot properly and named them how I want. What I'm attempting to do now is remove the automatic boot timer completely so that I will be forced to pick a partition every time. I've done some searches online and it seems this isn't a popular preference. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a good tutorial on grub2

Check out section 4 and change [I]GRUB_TIMEOUT= the time then run command update-grub
The timme is counted in seconds.

Thank you for the link. I had set that value to 0. Changing it to -1 has solved my problem.
