a simple question about priority of boot
 

Dear all my freinds, Hi
i have installed a linux fedora 10 and a windows xp SP2 on my PC. after turning on the PC i have just 3 seconds time to choose windows and enter to windows. how can i increase this time ? and how can i change this priority that windows will be the default OS ?

i'm beginer with Linux. thank u for your favor in advance.

edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the timeout to a longer time in seconds, and the default option to a different one in the list (starting from 0) save and close.

thank u acid_kewpie
how can i edit this file ? i tried to open it but i have no permission. in fact i can'n enter to root user. i know root password. and i can enter it from batch with su command. but generally i can't. i have fedora 10. during installation i didn't change any setting.
could you please guide me to solve this problems ?
thank u.

you meant that you can use su,isnt it?

yes. i can use it.

then as root at terminal type
then you can edit by presiing letter i.. change the file as stated by acid_kewpie..to save the file press esc then :wq

or you can try this will open a file manager for root.. be careful when playing around with file as root in gui.

thank u mobinskariya

i wish u reach to everything that u want.

thank u, :)

login in as root
