dual boot in fedora 11

[laksvenk]

Hi All,

I have installed Fedora 11 in my desktop. Installation process was completed successfully.

Whille booting normally it will show ,

" Press any ket to boot" for showing GRUB .

In Fedora 11 , it is showing the message but not accept any input .

So that it is directly going to default OS.

I have kept Xp as default one in menu.lst .

Please let me know how to resolve this one .

Does it boot to Fedora or Windows? If it boots to Fedora you can edit that menu. Open a terminal and type
su -c 'gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst'
In that file, change the line default=x to reflect which OS you want as the default that will load when the timeout expires. Each line that begins with the word title is a menu item. The first one is 0, the second one is 1, etc. Set your default to reflect your needs, default=0 will boot the first one listed. Remove or comment out the line that reads hiddenmenu. This will unhide the menu for you. The line that reads timeout=x determines how long the menu will wait before timing out and booting the default OS, so timeout=30 will delay for 30 seconds.
