I installed Linux and win2000 on my PC. LiLo is taking of the booting, Linux is as a default OS. I want Win2000 as the default one, how to change it?

Log into Linux as root. Now open the file /etc/lilo.conf, this is the configuration file for LILO. Simply change the line default=linux to default=windows or whatever the label is for windows.

Right, but don't forget to re-execute lilo (do "/sbin/lilo") after editing lilo.conf, or the changes won't take effect.
