how to set grub to start windows by default permanently
I have set up for a friend a dual boot solution windows/ubuntu in order to ease his transition from windows to linux, however he still wants to boot windows by default.
at the moment I have set it up without problem, but I know that at the first kernel update a new kernel will be listed in /boot/grub/menu.lst and the configuration will change.
I can I set up brub/ubuntu to boot chainloader +1 by default regardless the number of entry in menu.lst?
i have also tried to configure the parameter "howmany" from "all" to 1 in order to keep a consistent grub configuration, but after a kernel upgrade grub didn't honour the parameter, Moreover I discovered it was overwritten by a default "#howmany=all" line.
thanks
