通过修改Ubuntu的Grub来调整多系统的启动顺序

机器上装了双系统(Ubuntu 8.10+WinXP)，每次启动的时候如果不在Grub那里选择WinXP的话就会默认启动到Ubuntu。但是一般我都是用WinXP的，这样每次选择对我这种懒人来说太麻烦了，所以今天我就修改了Grub的配置，让它默认启动WinXP...

我们进入Ubuntu后，打开终端，先备份一下Grub的启动列表文件menu.lst：

然后使用Gedit来编辑menu.lst


打开以后会看到很长很长的东西，不过那些以"#"开头的东西全部都是没用的，而我们要修改的也只有一个地方(大概在18行左右)：default        0

这个0就代表了Grub默认启动项为Ubuntu，而我们要改成...这个因机而已了，我们往下看。
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
#            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
#            grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
#            and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default        0

## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout        10

## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
#hiddenmenu

# Pretty colours
#color cyan/blue white/blue

## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line)  and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret
#      password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/
# password topsecret

## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.

##      kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=898431cf-4249-4de1-a492-7e2f4afd49a9 ro locale=zh_CN

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=3738b672-62f3-490d-916a-cad379fdb57b

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the

## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
##      altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the

## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true

## can be true or false

恩，我用了7种不同的颜色标记了下面的每一部分，依次编号为0、1、2、3、4、5、6。所以我们看到WinXP系统的编号是6，所以我们只要把 default        0 修改为 default        6 就可以了。

这个是我的电脑，XP的编号为6，你的电脑需要你自己去看是多少。

PS.这里有个技巧，你需要数有多少个title就可以啦，哈哈！

另外上面我不同颜色标记的东西是可以删除的，删除以后Grub启动列表里的对应项目就会消失，貌似可以美观一些，嘎嘎...
