Ok.. Here's what I've got.. I installed Windows 98 on one partition and then Red Hat Linux on another partition. Red Hat installed GRUB to pick which operating system I want to load at startup. I picked it to default to Linux.

Once Linux has loaded, is there a way to make it boot into Windows the next time (and the next time only)?

The reason is that I want to run this box without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. I'll be accessing it using VNC (in both Linux and Windows modes). I just need to find a way to control which OS it boots into.

Thanks!

i dunno if that's really possible.

I had that problem with winxp/2k, but I figured out that there was a setting where you can choose what OS would be default when starting up.

Linux may have that option somewhere - though I'm somewhat of a neophyte in Linux config, so I dunno..
perhaps there's a file somewhere that u can alter before rebooting???not sure
but if u wanna go from win9x - linux, may not work..


I think best solution is to have a windows emulator in linux.
