I just installed suse 10.1

 

i already had xp installed

 

so now when i start up i get the grub boot loader with an option for both operating systems

 

currently i get about 10 seconds before it boots suse by default? how can i get it to boot xp as default?

 

thanks

Hi,

 

You will need to edit the menu.lst file which is located in the /boot/grub/ directory when you open the file you should see:

 







 

Change the 1 to your selection of OS. In the menu.lst file you will have entries like:

 







 

Notice how my default was set to 1 thats because the first entry starts from 0 so if I wanted my default to boot the Memtest86+ I would set the default to 0.

 

Hope this helps

i can't open my menu.lst file in the first place...

 

it says permission denied

 

=(

 

i don't know how to get it open
