Select OS to boot into on reboot

[Dale Trombley]

Sorry, re-edit of post:

I think there is a misunderstanding in this thread. Please correct me if
I'm wrong OP. This thread is not asking how to create a mult-boot system.
I do remember an option years ago that you could hold down the restart
button inside kde.
Check out this:

I'm pretty sure the one being asked about requires kdm and won't work with
the current lightdm.
According to this thread you must remove lightdm and install kdm to have it
working again but does offer another command shell work around:

I did find sort of a solution here maybe:
