How do i delete options and change option names?

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-05 17:15 ID:MQL3q8Gn

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

to change names, edit the lines that start with "title".

to remove entries, it's best if you comment(put a "#" in front of the line) all of the lines of that config block, just in case you need them back for whatever reason.

the line that starts with "default" is used to select the default OS boot. it starts counting at 0. once you comment out a config block, it basically doesn't exist so don't count them.

i want to put windows first and ubuntu second

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-05 19:09 ID:+NVr1QEc

just cut the 'windows' section where a line says 'menu'. scroll up to where the ubuntu is, and paste it above where it says 'ubuntu'.

each section is differenced by a blank line

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Fix'd

Gedit wins, because it has a save button, and decend drag-select features. Welcome to the 21th century.

sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst

Fixed.

Vim wins, because everything is done with the keyboard and decent use of vimscript. Welcome to the world of real programmers.

this person wants XP as his default boot, think once more if a GUI  really would be less suited in this case.
