Author Topic: Changing default bootup option (Read 8110 times)

Hi
I have Windows Millennium, Windows XP and Redhat Linux 7.1 installed in my machine. During Linux installation I chose RHL as default bootup option. Now I want to change Windows as default bootup option. How can I change that?

What bootloader you have ? Grub or Lilo ?

If I remember correctly, RedHat 7.1 installs Lilo by default.

ya.. ofcourse.. so for lilo..
i have one example

Code: [Select]

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.0-0.43.6
	label=linux
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.0-0.43.6.img
	read-only
	root=/dev/hda5

other=/dev/hda1
	label=dos

Here change "default=linux" to "default=dos"
So if in your lilo.conf if your label for widnows is "windows" then change it to "windows"
