Not really, the order is purely whatever I feel I can do away with when I'm adding the next build. I have no idea how many entries grub can actually handle, so I've set a rather arbitrary self imposed limit of 17 including the dos boot, which is actually a drdos install, but it doesn't work very well so I usually boot that from a floppy. But now, with the bios able to do its own upgradeing, I'm not even sure there is a good reason to keep a dos partition around! > When initially opened, my grub.conf file > specified default=1.
