Hey people ,
thanks alot for the help you give us , its really good .Now i have a
problem i'd like when im running linux i can automatically boot
windows next time by making it the default boot option temporarily
(current default is linux)just like in lilo doing something like :


$ lilo -r dos
$ init 6


and it would boot windows, is there a similar command that uses grub?

Yonnym,


It is simple if you have windows already in your grub boot options. Just edit the line default of /etc/grub.conf. It should point to the title of your Windows boot.

The titles are number 0,...


Best regards,
