Grub Configration
Hi!
I am using Red Hat linux 7.3 along with Windows XP. While Installing I selected the GRUB bootloader and the boot image in MBR. I would like to know a few things 1. How can I configure grub menu e.g. It has linux as default OS and I want to switch to XP. 2. How can I switch to lilo since I found it easier to configur with liloconf |
Grub default
If you look at your grub.conf file, you'll see a line like:
default 0 If your grub.conf file has multiple operating systems listed, GRUB numbers them as they appear, starting from 0. On my system, I have two Linux images I can load, and my Win2k partition. Win2k appears last, and that means GRUB considers it #2. So to set Win2k as my default, I'd change the default line above to: default 2 Piece of cake. As for lilo, I'd have to read up on it bit. I think all you need is a proper LILO configuration file, and then to run: /sbin/lilo DO NOT take my word on that though. Read the man page to double-check me. |
Thanx Chris for your prompt response.
for the lilo part when I issue the command liloconf while logged in as root bash displays that lilo.conf file was not found. so is there any sample file available |
LILO Mini-Howto
I don't want to give you bad information, so I'll give a cop-out and point you to the LILO mini-How-To. It gives a simple configuration file you can probably massage to fit your needs.
LILO Mini-How-To If you're just chomping at the bit to get going, the configuration file example is in section 3 of the how-to. |
Try this:
less /etc/lilo.conf lynch |
