In PCLOS KDE when you select the shutdown menu, you get
options to shutdown or reboot, and in the reboot selection, you
can pick out the os you wish to reboot to. I probably loused up
one of the menu.lst files, because in one case it doesn't go where
I expect it to. But it used to work, and still tries.
