I wasn't quite truthful in my post to mike; I really didn't have him
edit the menu.lst file with the command line. What I did do was have him
use the command line to go root (sudo), open a program (gedit), and open
a file with that program (/etc/boot/grub/menu.lst). Those three actions
took one short command. From that point on, he was using a GUI program
(gedit is a text editing program similar to notepad).
This action is analogous to editing the registry in Windows. It's not a
simple program setting. In Windows, you have to have admin rights,
choose the program (regedit), and know what key/setting in what
branch/tree/hive to edit.
I'm a proficient Windows user, but no geek by any means. You two guys
are much more sophisticated than me. Linux is different, but with
today's distros it is no more or less difficult to learn and use than
Windows.
JMO. YMMV.
