Dual Boot System 1

[sedawk]

When I installed my dual boot laptop, I set Linux 9.0 as my default system. Now I change my mind and want Windows XP to be my default system. Is there any quick way to do that? Or how to set a new wait time to enter a system automatically?

Thanks.

If you are using grub boot loader, boot into RH and etdit the file "/boot/grub/grub.conf". You will see something like below:

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-20.9.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-18.9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-18.9.img

The "timeout=10" that you system will boot the default settings after 10 seconds. Change this if you don't want to wait so long for a default boot. The "default=0" means it will boot the first "title ...". If your "title Windows..." the second one, then change "default=1"
