I like that better. Where do you execute 'grub-set-default 0'? I did notice this: "In some newer versions of GNU/Linux, there is no /sbin/grub-set-default (eg. Debian 3.1, Fedora Core 4,5). While some distributions like Gentoo still has /sbin/grub-set-default" http://sidvind.com/wiki/GRUB:_Boot_another_OS_once#Method_1_.28preferred.29 BTW, is there a way to tell which grub entry I'm booted into, or am I best off examining the contents of /proc/config.gz? - Grant
