changing the boot option in grub

htamayo · 04-10-2007, 01:11 PM

Hi again, i installed etch in a second pc but the owner is more windows user, so:

How can I change the order of the option in grub?, I want that windows appears in first place and with timeout of 2 seconds.

Actually I do this because it's my boss'pc so i don't want that someday he logs in etch accidentaly.

Thanks to all

You put the part concerning windows before ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST and make sure that default is set to 0

timeout 2

default 0

root ...
kernel ...

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

and then run
update-grub

did you install etch on a second PC or a second drive?
when you boot do you see an entry for windows and for etch on the grub menu?
