    Default Kernal on Startup?

    I have about three versions of Kernals that I can select from on startup. The one I want to use is not the "default" one. How can I change this? Can I delete all the others or is there a way to set a "default kernal"?

    Thanks.

    Google is our friend.

    I actually searched the forum before posting but did not think to search outside the forum via Google. Thanks for the info!

      That's a bit 'dirty' :P way of doing it, and manual changes in the AUTOMAGIC part of menu.lst won't stick when updating/changing kernels (update-grub will rewrite it)

      You can uninstall unneeded kernels or change the 'default' value in your menu.lst:
      ## default num
      # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
      # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
      #
      # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
      # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
      # WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not change this entry to 'saved' or your
      # array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
      default 0
