disable boot menu

[LordQwerty]

Hi all,

again, another question ...

Is it possible to disable the boot-menu at startup? I'm just looking for a way to boot directly to linux, now I need to press enter one time at boot up.

hope someone can help me out.

tnx !

Hello LordQwerty,

if you're using grub to boot, and linux is set as your default, then you can add a line to the grub configuration, /boot/grub/menu.lst, setting timeout to zero. e.g.:

Code: Select all

# Start GRUB global section


default 0
timeout 0

With grub the first boot entry would be default 0, 2nd default 1 etc.

Yes, I forgot to mention I use GRUB.

Great quick response ... I started to like Linux

LordQwerty,

Also, if you're running puppy from CD/DVD/USB or frugal hdisk, when you've got everything configured how you like, create a backup copy of your pup_save.2fs file, then if in the future you experience any problems, just copy the backup to the original & you're back at a pristine state.

I tried hiddenmenu, something I didn't like about it. Echoing to use the Esp key or something like that ??


Then I opted for a two second delay, with all black menu color attributes (on a single boot Linux of course)
