I just installed suse 10.1
i already had xp installed
so now when i start up i get the grub boot loader with an option for both operating systems
currently i get about 10 seconds before it boots suse by default? how can i get it to boot xp as default?
thanks
Hi,
You will need to edit the menu.lst file which is located in the /boot/grub/ directory when you open the file you should see:
Change the 1 to your selection of OS. In the menu.lst file you will have entries like:
Code:
title Memtest86+ (1.65)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /memtest86+-1.65 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 rhgb quiet
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2122_FC5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.img
Notice how my default was set to 1 thats because the first entry starts from 0 so if I wanted my default to boot the Memtest86+ I would set the default to 0.
Hope this helps
i can't open my menu.lst file in the first place...
it says permission denied
=(
i don't know how to get it open
Hi,
You will have to become the super user root to become super user root you will need to type:
Then enter your root password
