Description of problem: During install of mga3b2 from dvd using the default grub bootloader, the default timeout is 0. So, unless this is modified during install by the user (unlikely) there is no menu displayed and the boot jumps straight into the default selection. Default timeout should be 10 NOT 0, as it has always been. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
cannot reproduce seems to be related to your partition conf

This also applies to an install using the Live DVD.
maybe this will be fixed with https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8851 http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/bootloader.pm?revision=7382&view=markup#l1014 there is some code for that related to the mbr but I don't understand it.

yep, in drakboot (ncurses), without the fix the timeout was nothing, and after adding it, it was set to 10. (grub2 in mbr before lauching drakboot)

and in fact it's not (as I guess it cannot found the previous value)

Seems to be fixed for me in several test net installs.
Fixed in git

In drakboot, there is still no initial timeout if we come from grub2. There is no timeout var set in the default conf file, but in the cfg it's to 5. so maybe you can make a condition if it's not already here. http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/grub2/current/SOURCES/grub.default?revision=400332&view=markup

I will add a ten second timeout in the config, as on reflection I think 5 seconds is too short for new users. I don't see how this will affect drakboot though, as I can't imagine that it refers to /etc/default/grub ;)
