What do you use to control booting? GRUB, Lilo or some other bootloader? Or (...eew...) BIOS switching?

If you are using GRUB:

- go to the /etc/grub.conf file
- there should be a line like default = ?
- change that to your RH7.2 partition #

See an example from the LQ archive here:

If you are using LILO, you will have to change your /etc/lilo.conf file.

Hi stcusa

If you are using LILO:

Open your Lilo.conf file up

There will be a directive in the Global section at the top that says:

default =..................

Simply change it to what's written in the

label =.....................

directive you've used in the Red Hat block of code
