How to set up Grub to load Puppy by default? (Solved)

[thebear8me]

I want to set up Grub to load Puppy at start up. here is what my Menu List say currently

Code: Select all

# GRUB configuration file '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.
# generated by 'grubconfig'.  Mon Jul 31 21:21:42 2006
#
# Start GRUB global section
#timeout 30
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section
# Other bootable partition config begins
  title DOS (on /dev/hda1)
  rootnoverify (hd0,0)
  makeactive
  chainloader +1
# Other bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
  title Linux (on /dev/hda2)
  root (hd0,1)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=normal
# Linux bootable partition config ends
title Install GRUB to floppy disk (on /dev/fd0)
pause Insert a formatted floppy disk and press enter.
root (hd0,1)
setup (fd0)
pause Press enter to continue.
title Install GRUB to Linux partition (on /dev/hda2)
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0,1)
pause Press enter to continue.
title -     For help press 'c', then type: 'help'
root (hd0)
title -     For usage examples, type: 'cat /boot/grub/usage.txt'
root (hd0)

can I just change the order of DOS and Linux?
something like this->

Code: Select all

# GRUB configuration file '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.
# generated by 'grubconfig'.  Mon Jul 31 21:21:42 2006
#
# Start GRUB global section
#timeout 30
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
# End GRUB global section
# Other bootable partition config begins
  title Linux (on /dev/hda2)
  root (hd0,1)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=normal
  makeactive
  chainloader +1
# Other bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
  title DOS (on /dev/hda1)
  rootnoverify (hd0,0)
 # Linux bootable partition config ends
title Install GRUB to floppy disk (on /dev/fd0)
pause Insert a formatted floppy disk and press enter.
root (hd0,1)
setup (fd0)
pause Press enter to continue.
title Install GRUB to Linux partition (on /dev/hda2)
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0,1)
pause Press enter to continue.
title -     For help press 'c', then type: 'help'
root (hd0)
title -     For usage examples, type: 'cat /boot/grub/usage.txt'
root (hd0)

Also is the timeout the number of seconds until the first choice auto loads?

Thanks for all the help.

Cheers

you can add another line
default 1
that will boot the 2nd entry automatically not the 1st (which is item 0, the default if not specified)
