Hello all,

Can anyone tell me how I can change the boot order in my grub.conf file so that I can boot of my linux OS vs my windows OS. I originally wanted my windows OS to be the default because I could quickly fall back on it while I was using FC4. Since FC4 has stablized I want to be able to boot off that without having to manually select it.

Vice versa if I decide I want to run windows for a while (HEAVEN FORBID) I would wnat to be able to change the boot order again.

I looked in my grub.conf file and I can see how the OS' are listed but I can't tell what makes one a default and what doesn't. In lilo I can look at the top of the list and specify the OS name that corresponds to the list below for the default, grub doesn't have anything like that that I can see.
Well besides a "boot=/dev/hda" that is commented out at the top fo the list but I can't imagine thats it.

Any help is appreciated.

I got this from another forum:

That worked like a charm, I was looking for something more complicated then that. Thanks for the help.

The first entry is your default. To change the boot default, cut and paste the desired boot OS to be the first entry. It works for me for Ubuntu distribution, but should be the same for other distributions.
Have a good day!
