** Description changed: How do I change default Operating System boot-up for GRUB menu? is wrong in all Ubuntu documentation, including Dapper Drake ( https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/partitions-booting.html as example). It states that you should change the line in question to: default X_sequence - which will do nothing it if is interpretted literally (as any non-expert would). An example of a person who has misunderstood these instruction (as most people would) is visible at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=250229 . A more clear version that gets around this problem is shown at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS . In my view something similar to this should be incorporated into all Ubuntu documentation to avoid confusing users. + which will do nothing it if is interpretted literally (as any non-expert would). An example of a person who has misunderstood these instruction (as most people would) is visible at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=250229 . A more clear and informative explanation that gets around this problem is shown at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS . In my view something very similar to this should be incorporated into all Ubuntu documentation to avoid confusing users. + Ideally a simple graphical system would be implemented to control the boot loader from the Administration menu. Hope someone can attend to this soon. Thanks,
