Every time there's a kernel update I get a new entry in the grub 2 boot screen I am very confused on how to edit this new version of Grub - in the old days I just edited menu.1st file. What I'm aiming for is just two entries - Ubuntu and Windows. Can this be accomplished? </blockquote><div> </div></div>Hello Gordon, I am sure you probably know this, but if you remove older kernels then they will no longer show up on the grub menu list. Personally I dont keep more than three different kernel versions and you should probably always keep two known working ones (the current kernel and previous one) just in case there is a bug with your hardware. If you want to keep all your kernels, then the only thing I saw was to hide your recovery kernels (not sure thats the best idea). If you edit /etc/default/grub and add / change / uncomment the following line GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true Tthis line to prevent "Recovery" mode kernel options from appearing in the menu. If you want a "Recovery" option for only one kernel, make a special entry in /etc/grub/40_custom. You may need to update grup using the command: sudo update-grup2 Hope this helps. -- John Stevenson Lean Agile Consultant / Coach <a href="http://jr0cket.com">jr0cket.com</a> | <a href="http://leanagilemachine.com">leanagilemachine.com</a>
