One goal of installing Ubuntu is to help ease my wife and kids onto it — not to create a huge problem with the family. I simply copied the XP settings ahead of the Ubuntu settings in the item list and left everything else the same.
This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian ones. I want it to boot to XP by default regardless of what I used most recently. I had two choices — change the default value to 4 the menu divider is an option as well or leave it at 0 and reorder the items. I decided to reorder the items for one reason — I want the top menu item to be the default because that is how my family will expect it to work.
So I simply moved the XP section to the top, moved the divider below it, saved the local copy and copied it over the original. Rebooting brought up XP after a 10 second delay — just as I had hoped. I think you are asking for a translation into Spanish. I can only suggest babelfish — a link to the translation is:. I hope you enjoy the switch, and look forward to your future articles.

Thanks for this narrative. Eight years of trial and error to understand the basics of the strange language of operating systems and programming. Frustratingly time consuming but also fascinating, compelling … I want to be part of this, even if only as a thinking consumer of its creative output. It leaves me feeling stupid. Your well told story reflects my story of getting to know the last three versions. Fewer than ever hardware glitches, or command line interventions.
What is it with scanners and Linux? Microsoft based programs still have too much of my vital data, that would take too much time and effort to liberate, or make platform independent. Nearly there, but not quite. Next year, maybe. Hope this helps.

In Ubuntu This method needs to be modified to always correctly identify the correct menu entry for windows.
