When you reboot your computer after completing your Freespire installation, you will first see a menu containing four or more items called the Grub(Grand Unified Bootloader) menu. This allows you to boot your Freespire operating system, or any other operating systems you may have already installed, as well as some special options. The number of items and their names will vary depending on your particular configuration. The one we are interested in at the moment is obviously the one labeled Freespire, which will start your operating system. It is the default item unless you manually configure it differently. All you need to do is to wait a few seconds â you will see a countdown at the bottom of the screen â or press Enter, and Freespire will start loading. You can select a different item by using the arrow keys on your keyboard and pressing the Enter key.
During the Freespire boot, you will only see a simple splash screen.
(In Freespire 1): But if you press ESC, the boot scripts and messages will be displayed on the screen.
