Change order of boot items on Ubuntu if installed with Wubi

[Dullstar]

How does one change the order of boot items? I installed with Wubi, by the way. I would like to make Ubuntu the default as opposed to Micro$oft Windows.

these configuration settings can be found in /boot/grub/menu.lst
read through this file carefully - you can customize a bunch of things including boot order, timeout, etc.

Before modifying this file you should probably make a backup of it (definitely recommended if you are not quite sure what you are doing)

Now, er... what do I change?

I am VERY VERY sorry - I gave you the wrong file:

I should have said that these can be configured in /boot/grub/menu.lst

my apologies

[Archimedes0212]

as for what to change - if you scroll through the file, you will see groups of text that begin like:

title 'blah blah blah'
root
etc. etc. etc.

The order that these appear is the order they will appear in your boot list

Careful - because other OSs, ie Microsoft, if put within a certain section of the menu.lst file, will be erased when the grub menu is updated.
To find out where to put this - just read the commented lines in the file

(I would be more descriptive, but I'm not in my linux partition right now, and therefore don't have my menu.lst to provide additional details from)

Everyone messes up sometimes! As long as it's not like my KDE experience was when I experimented with! Made one mistake with the network configuration and screwed it up. Nothing major, just an annoyance, though.

[Dullstar]

Would it help if I post the contents of the file?

[Archimedes0212]

yeah, if you do that, I should be able to switch it around correctly
