Ubuntu Linux Boot Menu

To change the amount of time the system displays the boot menu showing the list of OSs when  you switch on the system:

1. Open a terminal

2. $sudo gedit

3. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst

4. find the line with the following (in default mode)

timeout   3

5. 3 indicates 3 seconds. Change it to how many ever seconds you want. In case you want the system to wait until the user selects a choice, change the timeout value to -1.
