Permanently Changing Boot Options
You can change the options that take effect each time you boot your computer by changing the
GRUB configuration file. In Fedora and other Linux systems, GRUB configuration centers on the
/boot/grub/grub.conf file.

Installing Linux 7
The /boot/grub/grub.conf file is created when you install Linux. Here??™s an example of that file
for Fedora:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
# changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,6)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda7
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,6)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora (2.6.20-1.3104.fc7)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.3104.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/123 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.3104.fc7.img
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
The default=0 line indicates that the first partition in this list (in this case Fedora) will be the
one that is booted by default.
