Re: [newbie] default boot os
go to linuxconf (i think that's it), and go to boot manager. in there you should be able to change the default boot. sorry for being so unsure, but my linux box isn't here right now. jd From: Peter Vandecasteele [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] default boot os Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2000 19:09:41 +0200 hello, does somebody knows how to change the default os ? after changing it activating the changes, nothing happens. delault my pc boots in linux, and i want it to boot by default in windows, without typing the word "windows" everytime i boot. thanks Kind Regards, Peter Vandecasteele.

Peter, If you go into 'Drakconf', select 'DrakBoot'. it will have a list of options, choose 'configur grub/lilo'. Whichever one you want to be the default, there is a radio button that you can select/deselect. That should do it. When you see the list again, the default OS will have a '*' next to it. Good Luck Eunice

Thanks, Doug Switch the two sections in /etc/lilo.conf. Here's my normal setup: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22 label=linux root=/dev/hda3 read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=win98 table=/dev/hda whichever one is listed first will be your default. So, to make Windows the default switch them to this: other=/dev/hda1 label=win98 table=/dev/hda image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-22 label=linux root=/dev/hda3 read-only After making that change, run this: /sbin/lilo that will write the changes back out to the drive so they'll take effect on the next boot. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp.
