linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Dear All In my Red Hat 7.2 , the /boot/grub/grub.conf has the following data : "default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda5 initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img" But when I reboot my Red Hat server , I don't see the Grub menu to say edit the boot kernel . Can you please let me know how can I activate it? Thank you (HowTos)
