A multiboot system needs at least a message to inform the user how to get to the boot manager (the GRUB menu). A Fedora only system probably should entirely suppress the menu or notice how to get to it.

The menu has been displayed by default since F16, with the switch to GRUB2. On Mar 11, 2013, at 11:43 AM, Ryan Lerch <rlerch@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > IIRC, in f17, the GRUB screen was not visible. (you could still press f11 to bring it up if you needed it to). Does anyone know why this behaviour changed? Esc since at least GRUB 2.00 final, maybe slightly before that.

As a Mac user who did go down the GRUB rabbit hole, I sorta wish I had those brain cells returned. OK maybe the brain cells lost were weaklings anyway, but the time lost I definitely would like to have back. A battery acid cocktail would be a kinder, faster way to get rid of enemies.
