Dual Boot

[Stish]

I habe a dual boot system and at startup the machine
boots into my second choice. Is there anyway to change
this?

Also is there any way to change the amount of time before
boot begins?

depends on what the OSes are. if it's windows nt/2k/xp
and another version of windows, then:
rightclick on my computer
choose properties
choose advanced tab
click on the settings button
under the system startup section, choose the options.

if it's any windows and linux, then you have to change it
from linux.

if you're using grub, edit the
/boot/grub/grub.conf
file and make the default 0 instead of 1, and change the
time to whatever;
if it's lilo, edit the
/etc/lilo.conf
file in a similar manner, then run
lilo

hope that helps.
