Hi,

I don't know if you can get rid of the timeout but you can

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and try to set the timeout value to something like 3600 (it's an hour, should be enough time :) ).

Edit: maybe just commenting the timeout line with a # will do the trick, i m trying and tell you if it works :)
Re-edit: altair confirmed so it should work :)

You can in fact comment out the line:
from timeout 5
to #timeout 5
