How to modify Grub boot loader
Sadly, I must say that I'm not a 100% Linux man just yet, but I've installed MEPIS on a separate hard drive and dual-booting alongside XP Pro. If more support for Linux games was available, I might make the transition.
Anyway, when I boot my system, Grub is by default on Linux. Is there a GUI interface in MEPIS where I can change the default OS? I've looked and can't find one. |
Default boot
You are saying that your GRUB correctly boots both Linux and Windows XP, but you want the default selection to be Windows ... If so, open an editor such as KWrite as root, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
AFTER you edit it, it should look something like this: ================================================================================= timeout 15 color cyan/blue white/blue foreground ffffff background 0639a1 gfxmenu /boot/grub/message title Windows at hda1 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title MEPIS at hda2, kernel 2.6.12.3-onion1 kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.3-onion1 root=/dev/hda2 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash=verbose vga=791 initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.splash title MEMTEST kernel /boot/memtest86.bin ================================================================================= That is, the default is the top entry -- you're reversing the order of the entries ... -- Mike === Post to http://www.mepislovers.org Great forum! |
