I like that better. Where do you execute 'grub-set-default 0'? |

I did notice this: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
"In some newer versions of GNU/Linux, there is no |
| 25 |
/sbin/grub-set-default (eg. Debian 3.1, Fedora Core 4,5). While some |
| 26 |
distributions like Gentoo still has /sbin/grub-set-default" |

BTW, is there a way to tell which grub entry I'm booted into, or am I |
| 31 |
best off examining the contents of /proc/config.gz? |
