I want to change the default boot setting to boot windows, instead of mandrake 8.1. I use windows 80% of the time and it has become a real pain in the neck to wait until the boot screen appears, and then select windows (3 sec timer). I have had a look around the help files and general settings in mandrake 8.1, however have had no luck. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Liam	Guest (0)

Edit the /etc/lilo changing the line where default=<name of label> If it's Grub I would assume it's in the /etc directory but you'll have to look for it as I use lilo.	Guest (0)
