rEFInd - how do I enable automatic booting?

Hi, I'd like to skip the waiting time in the main rEFInd menu screen to boot into arch.

I guess I have to adjust refind.conf, but all I could manage is to limit waiting time from 20 seconds to one second using: "timeout 1"

BUT how would I completely skip this so it automatically boots into the system?

thanks a lot!

You don't need rEFInd to do so. Just have a look:

alright, thanks a lot!

Of course I couldn't make it work, but that's my Intel Mainboard. Makes EVERYTHING harder )

I'll try to find a solution and will post it here in case someone else has the same issues

rEFInd does not have a 0-second wait-time option. As swordfish suggests, you can boot the kernel directly; or you can use gummiboot, which does have a 0-second wait-time option.
