[mythtv-users] Mythtv filling up disk space?

Is there a way to slow down the grub screen when it comes up? Because I only 
have one kernel, it just jumps to that kernel and won't let me do anything 
to it (it displays for what it calls "0" seconds)

Boot into single user mode

    1.If you have a GRUB password configured, type p and enter the password.
    2. Select the version of the kernel that you wish to boot and type e
for edit. You will be presented with a list of items in the
configuration file for the title you just selected.
    3.Select the line that starts with kernel and type e to edit the line.
    4.Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word
(press the [Spacebar] and then type single). Press [Enter] to exit edit
mode.
    5. Back at the GRUB screen, type b to boot into single user mode.
