Open a terminal.

Do the following:

#nano -w /boot/grub/menu.lst

Change "timeout=" to however many seconds you'd like it to be. For example, to increase the time to 10 seconds:

timeout=10

Save and exit.

Or do it the Fedora way System->Administration->Bootloader, enter root password, enter new timeout in the Timeout control (or use the arrows) and press Ok
