There are many instances in the forums, where, adding a cheat code to the kernel line in grub will solve a problem, but, if one doesn't have access to grub at boot-up, the solution is made more difficult. Even the act of booting to init 3 to make a diagnosis by looking at the logs requires a rescue disk when there is no access to the grub screen. Installations aren't always seamless, a timeout of 1 to 3 seconds makes the recovery easier.

Windows. If no other operating system is detected, then there's no point having a timeout. -- Chris Jones Photographic Imaging Professional and Graphic Designer ABN: 98 317 740 240 Photo Resolutions - Photo Printing, Editing and Restorations Web: http://photoresolutions.freehostia.com Email: <chrisjo...@comcen.com.au> -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
