Do not show refit menu on boot (only with option key) Is it possible to configure rEFIt so that the menu does not automatically show on my macbook when booting? I would like it to boot straight to OSX and only show the menu when I hold the option key, similar to how it worked before I installed rEFIt.

I am using:
MBP 10.6.8, rEFIt 0.14
I suppose the smallest timeout possible (1 sec) would be a kind of solution, although not exactly what you wanted.

If you have another OS installed on the internal HDD that can be booted by the stock Mac bootloader, you could install refit to the corresponding partition and bless the OS X partition. Thus, when you need refit/ind, you hold the alt key during boot and select the partition where it's installed.
