Hello,
I am a newbie with Knoppix.
I want to change the default boot on Knoppix, i.e. I want Windows XP to load with the start of the computer. Below is what my meny.lst reads (I only dared to change the timeout to 30 sec.):
# menu.lst - See: grub(, info grub, update-grub(
# grub-install(, grub-floppy(
,
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry to 'saved' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 30
# Pretty colours
color cyan/blue white/blue
## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
# password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret

In Mandriva it's quite easy doing this as it has a GUI Control centre with GUI boot management. Is there such a thing in Knoppix?
Thank you!
