Im useing lilo to boot is there way to do this

[Dove1983]

i nocticed that if i just let it sit there and boot it goes to linux is there a way to make it boot to windows if i dont do anything?

[X_console]

Add this line somewhere to the top of your /etc/lilo.conf file:

default=/dev/hda1

This assumes that /dev/hda1 is your Windows partition. Or just put the entry of Windows in your /etc/lilo.conf before the Linux entry.

When you're done, save and type "lilo" to update the changes.

Can you use vi?
Maybe Midnight Commander?
Or any text editor in X?
Pfff..enough choices...whatcha runnin'?

im useing mandrake 7.2 but i cant get into the kde because i havent got my voodoo card setup yet

OK, Midnight Commander:
type "whereis mc"
if your comp says something like "/opt/gnome/bin/mc" or "bla/bla/bin/mc" you've got it, run it.

navigate through your HDD, locate your "/etc" dir and find your file.
Edit with "F4"

Good Luck
