Public bug reported:
There is currently no easy way to change the default booted operating
system, nor an easy way to change the timeout for this selection.
Consider the following UC:
Erwin has just installed Ubuntu, as a friend recommended. For now, he
intends to keep working with Windows as his primary operating system
(perhaps even other members of his family are using Windows). Thus, he
wants the default OS booted to be Windows. He asks on the forums, and
probably receives the following answer:
"Hit Alt+F2, type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and edit that file -
it's mostly self-explanatory. Change the value 'default', the titles are
zero-indexed".
This is a confusing task, even for an experienced Linux user (mostly
counting the titles), and a graphical interface could really help new
users with this task.
