9.10 Dual Boot
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my system which already contains Windows XP . It installed itself in a previously unallocated portion of my hard disk along with a small swap drive. When I boot up the computer, the boot menu shows Ubuntu as item number 1. Then Ununtu in recovery mode, then 2 memory test choices and finally Windows XP as item 5. I would prefer XP to be first until I get familiar with Ubuntu. Also, my wife will go crazy on me. I have no previous experience with "Linux" systems. I remember a few commands from an old Unix system at work many years ago. The documentation shows that GRUB 2 is now being used, but it is quite confusing.
If I am reading correctly, I should change /etc/default/grub ...... the first line 'grub default = 0' to 'grub default = 4' (4 being the fifth item). Then run sudo update-grub. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.
