Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but I didn't see it in my quick scan of responses... - Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. - Find the line starting with "default". It should have a number indicating which entry is booted by default (usually this is "0" implying the first entry). - Run "grep ^title /boot/grub/menu.lst". Counting from zero, determine the order in which your desired entry comes. You could equivalently determine this by looking through menu.lst "by hand". - Modify the "default" line accordingly (if your desired entry is 3rd, set "default" to "2"). - Have a Knoppix CD handy (in case you screw anything up). - Reboot (to see the effect of your change).
