Question Grub


I have installed Win98se & RedHat Linux using Grub as boot loader.
I am a Newbie, so for now I want to boot to windoze as default, but Linux is the firt line in the loader and DOS second.
How can I change the order?

Please use Linux for Dummies type Reply

Thanks

Grub has a configuration file named /boot/grub/menu.lst

Use your favorite editor, and I believe you need to be the root user, to open this file and change one line.

Change:

default 0 (The "0" indicates to boot using the first stanza)


To read:

default 1 (The "1" indicates to boot using the second stanza)

Save and close the file and the next time you boot it should default to the second OS stanza listed in the file which should be Win98SE.
