well i successfully installed SuSe 9.1 onto a linux partition on my comp. i still have looked at it a great deal, but now i have some time i hope to do so. anyhow, as its a dual boot system and im not into linux yet, i still use WinXPsp2 as my primary OS. what im wanting to do is change the boot program at start up so windows is at the top of the list and loads on default unless i scroll down the menu to boot linux. its just now if i turn on my comp and walk away linux automatically boots within 20seconds of the boot program loading and then when i come back i have to reboot and tell the boot program to load windows instead. im guessing ill need to do this alteration through linux, but not sure how.

I can't remember if suse uses grub or lilo, so here's both

If it says grub when booting, after choosing suse and booting, head to /boot/grub and edit grub.conf.(as root) There should be a setting like DEFAULT=N (where N is a whole number from 0-*)
change that to the stanza number of windows (I'm pretty sure grub is like a hacker, counting from 0.) The number change will most likely be from 0 to one.
For grub, that's it

For lilo, just go to /boot, and edit lilo.conf, changing default=linux to default = (whatever the windows section is named by lable=), then save and exit, and as root run lilo. (just lilo, no args.)
