The default list of boot choices that Lilo gives me is
linux
Win
...
...
I'd like to change that to
Win
linux
...
...
in /etc/lilo.conf, I've tried changing the line
default = linux
to
default = Win
but that doesn't seem to have had any effect.
My VL is on hda1 and my WinXP is on hda2
Ah yes, I can hear you asking why anyone would want to make such a retrograde change. It's because I'm travelling and using a mobile broadband dongle for my internet access, and I haven't yet figured out how to make VL go on-line via that dongle. Therefore Win needs to be my first boot choice for the time being. OK?
Nobody asked anything ...

After editing lilo.conf run lilo -v in a terminal as root.
