Where do I edit the timeout for OS boot selection at start up?
I have found it every other time I have installed FC3, but for some reason, I am having a total brainfart.

/boot/grub/grub.conf
and find:
timeout=5
and set it to what you would like :)

You probably have it in /boot/grub/grub.conf. Then just edit the timeout=_ seconds in your grub.conf.

gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
