I am running a dual-boot with Ubuntu (10.10) and Windows 7. Recently I edited my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file to only show one version of Ubuntu (as opposed to several kernel versions) and Windows, simply by commenting out all other menu entries. My question is if I can edit GRUB to just boot a specific entry automatically.
I tried removing all other menu entries, but GRUB still showed the menu with only one entry. I've also considered just setting the timeout to either 0 or 1 second, as this would basically achieve the same thing.
What is the best way to do this?

The correct way to modify your grub2 settings in Ubuntu is by editing
/etc/default/gruband then runningupdate-grub(the file/boot/grub/grub.cfgis not meant to be edited). You can find more information here.Using Ubuntu Startup Manager can be of use if you prefer a GUI to do the changes.
