Hmmm,

I followed these instructions and got to a page that expains how to do this 
for 8.4 and 7.10. I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu's versions names, but I 
read "These directions do not apply to clean installs of Karmic or later. 
Karmic onward uses Grub2 unless you upgraded from a previous version of 
Ubuntu and have not manually upgraded to Grub2." so it does not seem to apply 
to "Lucid".

And while I agree that one can (and should) search a while before asking for 
help, I don't think that "$@#@#@" is very nice (but of course one can 
substitute any content...)

Maybe a more civilized and productive way of answering is "Google is your 
friend" (sorry, I'm a teacher :)
