XP as default boot How?

[nebtem]

I want to set the grub to XP defalt. I see many topics on the edit to savedefault or 0 or1 or3 but how do I do this? where do I find the Grub program and how do I edit it? Do I use Konsole? Do I use Root Shell?

/boot/grub/menu.lst You can do it in File managaer, Super user mode, with mouse

I used wingrub from http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/ to boot into dvdrom image.

after installed wingrub, select Tools->Install Grub->Boot From BOOT.INI->Install

The PC boot up would be XP boot menu. XP default boot option.
Their will be a line 'The Grub', select it will boot into Grub boot menu. Then boot your knoppix cd/dvd image file.
The configuration is C:\Grub\menu.lst

The menu.lst I use included the following line:
title Knoppix 4.0.2 DVD Official Release from ISO (KDE)
kernel (hd0,1)/knx402/linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us nomce quiet noprompt dma myconf=scan
initrd (hd0,1)/knx402/minirt.gz
boot

title Knoppix 4.0.2 DVD Official Release from ISO (Gnome)

initrd (hd0,1)/knx402/minirt.gz

boot

title boot back to Windows XP menu
rootnoverify (hd0,1)

Where do you type all this ? I have no idea where this stuff is. Where do I start? What program do I start? Where is the program to edit located?

I think he said sudo or su
The root user
I think enter 'sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst' in command prompt will be easier.
press i for editing.
Then press 'Esc' key then ':wq' to exit.

If you in root shell, just enter:

or
nvi /boot/grub/menu.lst
