Ubuntu Question....

...seeing as the lougne is now the Linux forum I have an Ubuntu question.......


I installed the lastes (6.06) version on Ubuntu on my system and it works OKish (I wasn't expecting it to work perfectly anyway). My question is: when I turn my computer on I'm greeted with a screen to select the OS I would like to launch (XP or Ubuntu). If no buttom is pressed Ubuntu loads up by default, so how do I set it that XP loads up by default?

sudo "nano /boot/grub/grub.conf" and remember things start at 0 in GRUB.

I dont think you even need a guide, because the Unbuntu .conf file (see a_thing's post) is commented extensively so you can just read through it and work out what you need to change. Thats how I did it and along the way changed the colours, too
