Reconfiguration of GRUB bootloader?
Posts: 16
Anyone know how to reconfigure GRUB so as to change the order of operating systems that appears on the menu. I'd like to move XP to the number one slot since I have to use it more often at school. That way if I don't hit down+enter before the time runs out it'll select XP for me, instead of Mepis. Anyone know how to do it?
Go to boot then grub then

Go to boot then grub then menu.1st cut and paste the windows above the mepis should look like this (p.s. you must be root to save the changes go to system then filesystem and use filemanager-super user mode)Good Luck!
title Windows at hda1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title MEPIS at hdb1, kernel 2.6.12
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12 root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd.splash

Reddog,
I believe that the only thing you would need to do is edit menu.lst and place the os that you want to be first at top of the other os.
For example:
title MEPIS at hdb1, kernel 2.6.12.3-onion1
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.3-onion1 root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd.splash
title MEPIS at hdb1, kernel 2.6.10
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/hdb1 nomce quiet splash=verbose vga=791
initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd.splash
The onion1 is the default kernel that would boot.
You will find the find in /boot/grub
