Subject: grub at start up

When the box starts up, grub's default time is about 4 seconds; how do I 
change that? I remember seeing it posted once before, but forgot to 
write down...

Change the line 

timeout=5 to timeout=N where N is the number of seconds that you want/desire

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00  rhgb quiet acpi=off
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5    <------  here change the 5 to 10 or 20 whichever number you feel most comfortable 
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
        initrd /initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img
