GRUB config?

[StanLin]

I just installed Red Hat 7.2 using the default GRUB instead of Lilo. There seems to be a bug preventing me from choosing windows as default boot up. Can anyone tell me how to configure grub?

RH 7.2 is one pretty cool bunch of os and apps. Hey Bill, watch out. Bill? Bill?

Here are a couple of GRUB configuration pages:

http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/iboot2.html

There is probably GRUB documentation installed on your system as well. Try "info grub".

You can find excellent articles at www.calderasystems.com. (http://www.calderasystems.com.) Click on Support/Knowledge Base and simply do a search for grub. The articles that will be most helpful to you are "Installing Grub and Setting Windows to be the Default" and "Zen and the Art of Using Grub".
But, a much simpler method than described in either of those is this: edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. You should find something which reads "title = Windows" on one line, and on the next "chainloader = (hd0,0)+1. Just cut and paste those two lines to be in the first position after the line "default=0". That will be the system which is highlighted on the grub menu when you boot up, and it will be the system which boots by default.
