Okay, if we hit a key, then we get back to the boot menu that we just saw. Multi-booting can be a bit of a complicated thing, so a hidden menu lets us hides that menu, and instead, all we get is this. Okay, see here how we can see the menu with the different operating system choices.Īnd at the bottom, here we have got a timer telling us how long we have got until the boot continues. So, we will look at it first without the hidden menu. Let’s take a look at what the early boot process looks like with and without this hidden menu option. Here, the hidden menu option hides the menu of OS (Operating System) choices unless we hit a key.

Then splash image, well, that just puts a custom splash image up behind the boot menu, not normally that important other than maybe for branding. Well, this tells us that unless we interrupt the boot process and tell GRUB otherwise, it will boot the first operating system option that we have got specified below, so for us, that’s RHEL 6 Timeout = 10 tells GRUB to give us 10 seconds during which we can press a key to interrupt the boot process.

Now, in our example, we have got settings for two operating systems, Windows 8 and RHEL 6.īut let’s take a look at the global setting first.

At the top here, we have got kind of the global settings,Īnd then below this at the bottom, we have got the operating system specific settings.
