Can I update Grub on MBR using existing tools?

[munichjohn]

Hello! I want to use the Grub 'timeout' parameter so I can turn on my computer and leave it to boot Puppy (4.3.1). I edited menu.lst removing the '#' commenting-out timeout and changed the value from 50 to 6 seconds. But I could not find a way to write this to the mbr. So I used an external program to do this and it works the way I want it. However, can I do this using Puppy tools? If so how? Best, munichjohn.

Grub is written to the mbr, but its configuration isn't - you just edit menu.lst with leafpad or whatever, and grub reads that file when it boots.

Thanks. As easy as that. Trust me to think it was more complex! Best from freezing Munich. JohnS....
