Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) — Question 57

Which of the following options is used in a GRUB Legacy configuration file to define the amount of time that the GRUB menu will be shown to the user?

Answer options

• A. hidemenu
• B. splash
• C. timeout
• D. showmenu

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as 'timeout' directly refers to the duration the GRUB menu is visible before automatically selecting the default boot option. Options A, B, and D do not control the display duration; 'hidemenu' suppresses the menu, 'splash' relates to graphical displays, and 'showmenu' ensures the menu is visible.
