I have Redhat Fedora.. the latest one i forget...

Anyways, I have the Linux boot timeout that is 5 seconds. By the time the list comes up there is 1-2 seconds left. a while ago I googled how to change the timeout, no help.

I forget what the program linux uses to dual boot(could restart if u need me to) any help would be appreciated

im a linuxnewbie

in Fedora it should be the GRUB bootloader, so you simply need to edit the grub.cfg or grub.conf file....should be located in /boot/grub/, if not simply do a locate.

in there you will find the line

Code: Select all

timeout=5

or

Code: Select all

set timeout=5

the number is the time in seconds...
