Hi ThenOOb,
I can give you an effective tip (one that I've used) for reducing or extending boot-up time to whatever duration you want. In the terminal type the following...

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

[size=1em]Change GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT=2. This will change the boot time to 2 seconds. I prefer not to put '0 seconds' here, as you will loose the privilege to change between OS and recovery options. However if you do use a value of 0 seconds you can always change this in the terminal later if you want, so no harm done.  Once you have changed the grub configuration, save the configuration file, then use the following command to make the change count:[/size]

Code:

sudo update-grub

PS. You may need to install gedit as, if I remember correctly, this app is not included in the LL iso file package. You have the choice of using either 'Install Software' (=synaptic package manager) which you'll find under Favourites in the Menu, or using the terminal enter the following code:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gedit
