How do I customise GRUB OS selector??

[JoLLyRoGer]

Basically I want to set it up to default to Windows after timing out and set it for more time to make a selection. Right now it goes straight into Linux after 2 seconds, I'd at least like to have 15 seconds to make a selection. Also is there a way to change the order of selection?

I'm not trying to obligate anyone to a long drawn out explination, but I would appreciate a good "how to" webpage regarding my post.

Thanks in advance..

The file you are looking to edit is /boot/grub/menu.lst

Remember this is mine and only listed as an example, you are probably not using the same distro I am (I use Progeny/Debian) but the Grub basics are the same... Also, look for the docs under /usr/share/doc/grub there is a are html docs there that you can read with your web browser... Enjoy...


here is mine:
