Simple conf

Google says:
Hallo people! This is an example of very very simple configuration on ubuntu grub. “GNU GRUB (short for GNU GRand Unified Bootloader) is a boot loader from the GNU project. GRUB (shortened form of GNU GRUB) is the reference implementation of the Multiboot specification, which enables a user to have multiple operating systems on their computer, and choose which one to run when the computer starts.”




If you are a new user of ubuntu, you should know this to enable you to select the OS you want to use in convenient time, giving you enough time to decide (not sighing anymore :p right after you turn on the pc, and you left it for a moment, and you realized u missed it!)

Now, you can change the options..



Go to root :

cd /boot/grub/
ls (make sure there is menu.lst)
sudo vi menu.lst

(vi or gedit)

If you want to disable the time counter, just comment out the timeout :
# timeout 10

if you want to put the time counter, you can set the timeout in seconds
timeout 10
