Description
yea, Im not sure if this has been implemented in hardy, but this 'option' shows up when you have multiple OS's on your system. not a big deal, but it would only make sense...
EDIT: by "Other Operating Systems:", I mean the actual line of text that says that in the menu.

I like having the option to boot from Other OS' if htey are available... This can always be changed by editing the grub menu...

no, yea, Im all for dual(+) booting, its the fact that the GRUB menu makes the line "Other Operating Systems:" selectable that seems a bit off, I mean, whats that gonna do, boot the computer from a line of text?
this line, of course, only appears when you have more than just ubuntu installed. again, not a big deal, but it seems logical to just treat the line as plain text instead of an option.

Also, the separator screws up startup-manager. But that's backwards reasoning. :)

I think, that line can be just taken out without replacement. It doesn't tell anyone anything he doesn't already know.
