Fedora 13
These instructions should apply to other Linux distribution using grub version 0.97 and later.

The default installation of the GRUB boot loader by Fedora 13 set the timeout value to 0 which effectively hide the GRUB boot menu from the user. To activate the GRUB menu at boot time, set the timeout parameter to a non-zero value in the file "/boot/grub/grub.conf.

To hide the GRUB menu at boot time, set the timeout parameter in the file "/boot/grub/grub.conf" to zero.
