How do I stop Fedora 11 from autobooting? When I boot up my computer, Fedora will autoboot after giving me a 5 second notice to hit any key to choose a different operating system. I want Windows to boot automatically instead of Fedora. How do I do this?

The LXDE forums are not the best place to ask this question. You should post here

You'll probably need to modify the timeout setting in BIOS and edit your bootloader, presumably grub.

Even though this is the wrong place to ask your question, I'll address it. Yuo'' have to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. There's a line default=n where n is a positive integer. To autoboot Windows, Change n to point to the entry for WIndows. There's a line timeout=m where m is the number of seconds to wait before booting the default OS. If this line is commented out, uncomment it. Change m to something more to your linking. Save the file and reboot.
