Idea #2975: Graphical tool to configure boot menu

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #141: Include a graphical frontend to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst installed by default.
Written by laptoplinux the 4 Mar 08 at 03:23. Related project: brainstorm.ubuntu.com. Status: New
Rationale
While it is not terribly difficult to edit the boot menu by hand, many other distros out there such as Fedora and OpenSuse have had a GUI tool for editing the boot menu and changing things such as the default OS for years now. It seems like something as simple as that should be in Ubuntu as well. Additionally, this would help simplify matters every time a kernel upgrade completely overwrites any boot menu customizations that a user has made. Having to go back in and manually re-edit the boot menu each time can be a pain.

It does exist; although there are some major bugs atm so it isnt recommended to use it on Gutsy.

It's called GrubED;
