how to skip boot menu

[P5music]

I edited syslinux this way :

Code: [Select]

default menu.c32
prompt 0
menu title UNetbootin
timeout 0
but still I have to hit enter.
How can I boot immediately without choices?
Thanks

@P5music: In the few lines you've presented here you indicate (via 'default menu.c32') that you you want to use the "simple menu system". Was that actually working before you started tweaking parameters?

To me there is a contradiction here, on the one hand you want a menu, meaning multiple labels to choose from, and OTOH you want to boot straight, without delay into a single, default option. Which one is it going to be?

You might want to share here your full config file, so that it becomes a bit clearer. My hunch is that you'll have to strip down the config to a single label option, and then adjust the timeout etc.

I don't need this boot menu so I put the same options in "default" sections and set timeout=0 but it still awaits.

I really don't want to be rude, but did you read the link?

...A timeout of zero will disable the timeout completely...

i just put the timeout to 1 - or .1 seconds ... virtually instantaneous and well... I still see the menu but i don't care... it times out and my boot's fully automated outside of switching the power button.
