Mandrake 's grub Question

[skycom]

hi, all

I have installed Mandrake 8.0 and Windows to my computer, and using Mandrake's grub to do multi-boot in my hard disk, but the default boot is linux, how can i set it to windows?

Thanks ^_^

Hi,

i don't use Mandrake, but installed GRUB several times with RedHat and Nt4.0. Unfortunately i have no GRUB-powered box at hand, so i try to recall - please check carefully with your installation.

GRUB installed its files into "/boot/grub", the ascii-file "menu.lst" being the default config-file at boot-time. If you have several options to select from, they are numbered starting at 0, regarding to the order they are listed in the file. In "menu.lst" there probably exists a line "default = 0", which you can easily change with your favourite editor (to read "default = 1" probably .

There is no need to activate this change like it is with LILO, so the next boot should work as desired.

ciao, mbr

i needed to change something in grub in mandrake once too.
i went into the menu.lst to add my own super kernel and all i got was some rubbish.
maybe it's compressed, i never tried.

but i think you can set grub boot stuff in the mandrake control center.
