[live] how to edit grub menu - schneidz - 2009-12-31
hi,
i used unetbootin to create a live-usb of the 9.11-repack (this is a wonderful release).
i would like to change grub's default boot from 'install' to 'live-nvidea gpu'.
i also want it to timeout after 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds.
here is my XBMCLive_53/boot/grub/menu.lst:Code: #
[b]default 1
timeout 5[/b]
foreground eeeeee
background 333333
splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#

but nothing seems to be changed; what is the correct file that needs to be edited ?
thx,

i found it:
the file to edit is /live/image/syslinux.cfg.

^ i would still like to know how to add a menu item for booting the win-xp partition ?

Best to search a real linux forum. I guarantee that's been asked a half-million times.

^ thanks al, will do...
i think xbmc can be as practical as any real linux.

I installed a bootable USB from the XBMC Live CD 9.11
I could not find syslinux.cfg. I assume this is because my USB boots with only options, limited to the ION setup I have (Asrock 330)
However, changing 10 to 3 seconds worked in the following file (WINSCP, logged in as root)
./boot/grub/menu.lst

^ maybe unetbootin did something funky to mine.
thanks for the confirmation.

hi, i added this to my syslinux.cfg:Code: label ubnentry8
menu label win
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
but it just flashes the screen when i select it in grub. is there any way to boot the internal drive from xbmc's grub screen ?

edit:
thats interesting. it seems to be pre-programmed into this file but my pc doesnt seem to be using it:Code: xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ tail -n 15 /live/image/boot/grub/menu.lst
title ---

title Boot Operating System on Hard Disk
