grub ignores esc, boots windows immediately
Hello,
on wife's notebook ubuntu is installed next to the pre-installed vista (because of a missing graphics driver in linux). Now I changed /boot/grub/menu.lst so that Vista should be booted without delay by default; booting Linux should be possible when pressing ESC which should make GRUB appear. But ESC - no matter when I press it before the boot process of Windows - is just ignored. I haven't since had the chance to see the contents of the GRUB menu as it immediately goes over to Linux.
Is there anything I can do *after* booting Windows or should I try it with a LiveCD (bad thing: all ISOs are on the Linux partition and internet is not so quick at times in China...)?
I would appreciate your comments,
Rekado
