on my dual boot system, i was stupid enough to install fedora at about 1:00 am and made a mistake when i was configuring grub. well i configured grub during the install and forgot to name the windows xp option and also forgot to set this as default. i figure i can change it by editing the grub.conf file right? any instructions or is there actually a GUI way to configure grub
 
:( noone??? i think that by editing the line following title on the second section of grub.conf that says "other" to "windows xp" i will solve my first problem. and by changing the default "default=0" to "default=1" i will solve my second problem. can anyone confirm this because if i screw up the grub.conf i think im stuck with a linux command line which i am useless with and then i'll have to go back to my trusty live cd's but i don't want to have to do that when i can get it right first time.
