      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grub boot menu</p>

<p>By default Debian using the Grub bootloader, if you want to change a few settings you can either edit the configuration files manually</p>

<p>There is a section in the <a href="https://debian-handbook.info/" rel="nofollow">Debian Administrators Handbook</a> which covers Grub, and also the LILO boot loader(s).</p>

<p>If you are not comfortable with this then you can use a program such as grub-customizer.</p>

<p><strong>apt install grub-customizer</strong></p>

<p>So the first screen you see is a list of installed operating systems.</p>

<p><img src="https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/screenshots/-/raw/master/GrubCustom/listconfig.png" alt="Systems"></p>

<p>So you can fine tune which kernel or add extra parameters.</p>

<p>The next tab</p>

<p><img src="https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/screenshots/-/raw/master/GrubCustom/grubcustomGenSettings.png" alt="General Settings"></p>

<p>Allows you to customize how Grub works, you can change how long the Grub menu appears for, or hide it altogether.</p>

<p>You can also change how grub looks</p>

<p><img src="https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/screenshots/-/raw/master/GrubCustom/appearance.png" alt="appearance settings"></p>

<p>Advanced tab should only be touched if you know what you are doing, here for reference anyway.</p>

<p><img src="https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/screenshots/-/raw/master/GrubCustom/advanced.png" alt="advanced"></p>

<p>Don&#39;t forget to <strong>save</strong> your settings, however if you exit without saving then you will lose changes. This is good if you think you may have messed something up.</p>
