Added instructions on how to boot to the menu when it is hidden, and added note about grub vs. grub2.
{{Admon/note|Fedora 13|These instructions should apply to other Linux distribution using grub version 0.97 and later.}}
= Viewing the GRUB menu without changing the defaults = The grub menu can be made to appear by holding down a key, such as SHIFT, during the boot process. = Changing the defaults so the boot menu always appears = Edit <code>/boot/grub/grub.conf</code>: # Remove (or comment out) the <code>hiddenmenu</code> line.# Set the <code>timeout value is </code> parameter to the number of length in seconds the that GRUB boot loader will wait for user input before it boot booting the default OSmenu option, if the user does not press any keys. = References = * <code>man grub</code> {{Admon/important|GRUB vs. GRUB2|When searching for information about GRUB on the Internet, be aware that Grub2 is a very different program from the version shipped with Fedora, and information about Grub2 will not necessarily apply to Fedora. The Fedora project has not yet switched to using Grub2 because it does not support some system configurations on which Fedora is used.}}
