Reordering the Grub menu startup

Fri Mar 27, 2009 5:52 pm
Kubuntu 4.1.4
SONY laptop VAIO VGN NS105N

I am trying out Kubuntu for the first time.
I am familiar with Ubuntu.
My first problem, of many, is this:
I have a three O.S. consisting of Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu 8.10, and Kubuntu 4.1.4.
The GRUB menu has the Kubuntu O.S. as the default boot.
I want Ubuntu 8.10 to be the default boot.
I have tried to change the "menu.list" but haven't been able to do that, since I don't know the equivalent command for "gksudo nautilus", which allows me to enter, change and save the menu.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can try [font=Courier]kdesu texteditor[/font], for example [font=Courier]kdesu kwrite[/font].

The default choice is numbered in menu.lst; you need to change the number - remembering, I think, that GRUB counts from 0. No need to change anything else in menu.lst.
