I think that is missing the point of the OP. It would be quite handy to
find an "easy" way to do as Dotan is requesting. For example I have
multiple machines with several OS' & versions on them; 8.04, 9.04, 9.10,
10.04, Winx etc. To have to create 40_custom entries for all of them is
simply too much effort. For the time being I rather just edit the
grub.cfg if I want to add a kernal option. Additionally, having GNOME
and KDE on separate partitions is an excellent way to compare between
the two if you wish to keep the installs clean (i.e., no gnome install
then install kde so you have both libraries etc., or no kde install that
you then clutter up by installing gnome). For comparison purposes it
makes perfect sense to me.
