Not for a 10.04-4 LTS install: gene@lathe:~$ info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' info: Cannot find node `Simple configuration'. gene@lathe:~$ sudo info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' [sudo] password for gene: info: Cannot find node `Simple configuration'. It does work on this wheezy install though. Based on the wheezy versions output, I commented the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true out and reran update-grub. Now its time to go see if I can get it to run memtest. Thanks Mark. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
