as per the wiki I change the default in /etc/default/grub from 0 to 4.
I ran update-grub. The same entry boots by default, i.e. it didn't work. Anyone know why ? Brian For reference: Configuring grub v2 The configuration file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but you shouldn't edit it directly. This file is generated by grub v2's update-grub(8), based on: 1. The script snippets in /etc/grub.d/ 2. The configuration file /etc/default/grub To configure grub "v2", you should edit /etc/default/grub, then run update-grub. Advanced configuration are achieved by modifying the snippets in /etc/grub.d/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
