    How do you edit GRUB?

    I need to edit the boot options and want to know where the file is and what it is called. I am running Kanotix BH7 kernal version 2.67 I think. Just trying to change the boot timer, the default, and the names.

    Go to /boot/grub and edit the menu file.

    You don't need to run grub console. You only need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. That's all to it. Grub will read it when it boots.

    Unlike lilo, after you edit lilo.conf, you need to run lilo to update what you have change in lilo.conf.
