I have installed fedora core , i already have windows xp on c drive now whenever i start my system it gives me a screen where i have to hit a key to reach another screen where i can select which os i want to boot. but is it possible that instead of first screen i get the second screan where i can choose the os i want to boot and the first screen gives me only 2 secs.

yeah edit menu.lst default time out

open menu.lst with any text editor with root privilages

path is

/boot/grub/menu.lst

command is
su kate /boot/grub/menu.lst
or
su gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and change the value for
timeout

by default its 5 sec

yes,fedora just try to boot into before grub MENU appears.the solution is :
press alt+f2 to get "run" dialog.now insert below command to open grub.conf
Code:
gksu gedit  /boot/grub/grub.conf
now in the editor search(CTRL+F) for "hiddenmenu" word.prefix a "#" on hiddenmenu as is below:
Code:
#hiddenmenu

also u can make the timeout value to be 20 seconds:
Code:
timeout         20
^search and replace the value.
