Yup. Lotta ways to skin a cat.
Me, I just use cut & paste and set up the menu.lst the way I want it to
look -- order-wise -- on the bootup screen, with my default preference
at the top.
Thought it might be good for the OP to have to look through the file and
maybe get a feel for what was in it. That's how I was taught, and in
short order I was a GrUB editing fool.
Which was good, 'cause I kept having to go back and redo it every time I
blew up an install.
