      How do I delay or extend the login time for PXE boot? I have about 3 seconds on the GRUB GNU screen to make a selection. If I miss it the window it logs directly into the hard drive. That doesn't occur with my VM's. This only happens with my physical machines. Thanks.

        You can't change from the web interface. If you are using grub as your bootloader, you can edit the following file:
        C:\Program Files\Theopenem\tftpboot\grub\grub.cfg

        You should see a set time value of 10, so I'm not sure why you are only getting 3. You can try setting it to something higher.

          @theopenem_admin Can I turn it off completely? Can I just have it sit there until I pick one? Thanks

            @theopenem_admin This is what I am seeing. I tried setting the timeout value to 60 seconds but it didn't change anything.

              That's not grub it's pxelinux. It would be a different file. Are you using proxy dhcp so I can tell you the correct file.

                  Edit this file:
                  C:\Program Files\Theopenem\tftpboot\pxelinux.cfg\default

                  Scroll to the bottom and find timeout 50, you can try 0 or something higher. 50=5 seconds.

                      I do hope you add the menu editor into TOEMS, like it was in CD.

                        I am trying to do this too, I am using proxy, I have modified the default files in the 3 folders under C:\Program Files\Theopenem\tftpboot\proxy (bios, efi32, efi64) but the changes do make any difference, even if I try to rename a label. Then I seemed to remember I needed to regenerate boot files, and that made no difference other than resting the default files back to default setting of 50
