(copying the info from ...grub isn't "behaving", but just from my 
looking at .../menu.lst, all that's listed are two different 8.04 LTS 
kernels:

2.6.24-28-generic
&
2.6.24-19-generic

Nothing in the file about 10.04...,

I also don't see a file for .../menu.cfg , is that supposed to be in the 
Grub folder?
