[PLUG] Once again Linux has proven to me it is only good for non critical apps

[Kirk Goins]

I was able to get to GRUB '1' time and picked the previous kernel which is
.38 vs .39 and the system booted correctly. Since then I can't get the
timing correct to get back into GRUB.  So 2 basic questions.

#1 What line to a I add/change/delete in the config file to make GRUB pause
for say 10 seconds?
#2 Do I just remove the 2 sections referencing the .39 and .39 Recovery
from the config file to get past this error for now?

Thanks
