Can anyone help me remember the file and line to control the default
operating system on a dual-boot set-up? The computer uses grub boot
loader. On bootup, it gives a choice between WinXP and Fedora3. If a
selection isn't made in a certain number of seconds, the default operating
system is chosen (which would be either WinXP or Fedora in this case
depending on what is specified). You can change the default by changing a
line in a config file, but I have forgotten what the file is and where it
is located. You can also change the number of seconds given to make a
choice. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
File is /boot/grub/grub.conf
The two relevant lines are:
- - - - - -
default=0
timeout=5
- - - - - -
default is the count of which is the default program to boot. Count
starting with 0
timeout is the number of seconds
You must have root privileges to edit this file.
