It is.  And my point was not for me:  I've already changed it (both with a 
timeout of 1 and eliminating the menu completely).  My point was for 
everyone *else* that won't be recompiling the CD.  It would be silly to 
have to recompile the CD just to eliminate the menu, and it sure seems 
silly to have a menu that waits *forever*--a menu with only one choice!
