| 550692 | 2007-05-17 10:46:00 | A quick question. Mepis 6.5 dual booting with win2k. I want to change the default boot order in Grub from Mepis to Windows (I know, I know, a terrible thing to do, but as windows is the first system I boot in the morning, I want to hit the button without fiddling). Existing Grub menu list below: timeout 15 color cyan/blue white/blue foreground ffffff background 0639a1 gfxmenu /boot/grub/message title MEPIS at hdb1, newest kernel root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hdb4 boot title MEPIS at hdb1, previous kernel (if any) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hdb4 boot title MEPIS at hdb1, kernel 2.6.15-27-desktop root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-desktop root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hdb4 boot title Windows at hda1 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title MEMTEST kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin Now, my understanding is the OS order is controlled by denoting "default 0" sans quotes would boot Mepis first and if Windows first it would be "default 3". So, my question is, can I just chuck "default 3" in after the "timeout 15" line thus: timeout 15 default 3 color cyan/blue white/blue foreground ffffff background 0639a1 gfxmenu /boot/grub/message title MEPIS at hdb1, newest kernel root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet vga=791 resume=/dev/hdb4 boot yada yada yada!!! Will that work? |
