I'm not attached to the "timeout 0" at all, and a "press any key..." message from grub is certainly more useful than most of the other text that appears on screen during boot... The thing we care about is avoiding unnecessary mode switches and ugly transitions in the boot sequence; for which it might be enough to not have grub show an image. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
