What version of grub are you running? That's the program that is displaying the boot menu. You can look in Synaptic and search for 'grub', or type 'dpkg --list grub' in a terminal - if this is installed the last line shown will start 'ii'. If the 'grub' package is installed, that's Grub1. Otherwise you're using Grub2 (which probably has a version number of 1.97 or 1.98). For Grub1, you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (that's LST in lower case), and 'uncomment' the 'hiddenmenu' option. IIRC, it will currently have 2 # marks at the front of the line, change it to just 1. For Grub2 you need to edit /etc/default/grub, and you need to look for the GRUB_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT values. GRUB_TIMEOUT should be set to 0 (zero). GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT should be set to a value between zero and about 2. Whichever file you are editing, you will need to have root permission to edit it (try Alt-F2, then type 'gksu gedit <filename>' without the quotes and replacing the filename for the relevant version of Grub). If you get stuck, let us know. Cofion, Neil. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
