Dear Stephen

Here is a third method just to add to your options.  I used it on my 
Kubuntu 8.10, (32bit).

1) Click K > System > System Settings > 2nd Tab Advanced > Grub Editor > 
Entries tab - select which O/S you want to boot as default
2) In addition you could look at the Options tab to change how long the 
countdown is until the default O/S boots

Let us all know which one worked


Good luck
