KDE has a GRUB config somewhere I think...you can have it look or manually enter it there.

Edit: One more thing
Here's how to configure LILO (the other bootloader)

GRUB and LILO are very similar, so that should help you out.

Err no, they certainly aren't. I knew how to tweak LILO, but that did not help me with GRUB.

Anyway, be root and open /boot/grub.conf (if the file isn't there, check where your grub.conf is).

The following worked for me:

Code: [Select]

The default should be on 0 (or whatever you want to start first - the first entry is 0, the second 1 ed). Timeout should be on 10 or so - it's in seconds. Splashimage and passwords should not be changed. The Linux entry should not be changed (assuming it works correctly).

Seeing your info, the windows setting should be the same as here. I take it you have Windows on the first partition on the drive.

If that doesn't work, you can either ask, or type 'info grub' - Grub's info pages are quite helpful with the details to fill in and on what the fields mean.
