Grub Timeout
Hello, i was wondering if there is any way to have no timeout on the grub boot loader so it basically sits there until an OS is selected, i have windows and kubuntu installed. I have tried changing the time in the menu.lst file to 0 and -1 but it doesn't work. thanks

hi Evilmonkey,
Welcome to the LinuxForums.
GRUB doesn't support negative timeout value and maximum timeout value is 3600 ( 6 mins ).
set timeout between 0 - 3600.
CasperIt is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

you are hitting at right spot now.
put # sign before timeout line and GRUB Menu will stay untill you select any OS in Menu and hit Enter key.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
