Changing the Timeout Value
We will change the “Timeout”
value to 20 (Figure 200),
which means that we want the default operating system to boot after
20 seconds. Before 20 seconds have elapsed, you’ll see the Grub
bootloader screen which will allow you to choose either operating system.
If you’re fast on the draw, you might need less time. We increased
the time from ten seconds to twenty.
Figure 200: Changing the timeout value in grub.conf Timeout sets how long we have to select the OS to boot. After the timeout, if no other choice is made, the default OS is loaded.
