I recently installed Ubuntu on my slave drive and dual booted my machine (windows on primary, ubuntu on slave). Ubuntu used the grub loader and set itself as the default OS. I went into /etc to find the grub.conf configuration file to change this but it wasn't there. Any advice?

It's in /boot/grub/menu.lst. `info grub` has full details.
Once more an expert fixes a simple newbie question.
Thanks a bunch grim.

I've got another newbie question while we're on the subject of boot loaders. I am dual-booting Win Server 2003 with Fedora Core 4. I'm going to have to reinstall the Win2k3 'cause it caught something (I'm blaming that on my fiancee), which will overwrite Grub as my boot loader. After it does this, how do I go back and reinstall Grub as my boot loader?
You can use a Fedora Core 4 CD to "rescue boot" onto your hard drive's GNU/Linux install. Once you do this, you can run the grub installation software to replace your MBR.
grim you are the man. I'll probably have some other questions for you soon, i'll probably jsut email you though.

Yes, I figured I could do that. I just didn't know how to install grub and hadn't gotten around to looking it up on my own.
Just in case someone else is looking for this information, what I did was in section 3.2 of this (http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html)
