    Hi all,

    I remember from the times of SuSE 7.x, when after installing SuSE along
    with Windows 9x and 2k, the reboot menu has the option of rebooting one
    of the OS'es installed i.e. one could reboot into windows from linux
    without having to wait for the boot menu and press up or down to select
    the OS.

    Times has changed, now with grub we boot even the NSA systems (if well
    hacked i'm sure we can!) but, in my ignorance, such a feature was kind
    of interesting and i am particularly interested in having it back...So
    question is :

    How can one change the next boot within linux without making it
    definitive ?

    i know i can edit menu.lst and change the default entry but then, next
    reboot i will have to press a key to chose linux instead of windows,
    change the file again and so on...call me lazy if you want, but it
    really will save me a lot of time...

    I've digging and googling around, i've learned a lot about boot process,
    grub and lilo but still haven't found anything...

    I will appreciate any help (docs, tips, man pages - oh yes, RTFM - ) :-]

    Cheers
