GRUB2 menu entries increasing with kernel updates
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. No problem there. My problem is with the GRUB2 boot menu. I don't know how to edit it. I have and want a triple boot with Ubuntu, Windows XP and Xandros 4.5. The boot menu, however, also has 2 entries for Xandros 3 (for the original kernel and its update). I don't want to boot to this old installation any longer, just mine it for some files and settings. Yesterday, Ubuntu issued a kernel update for Lucid, which I installed. Now the boot menu has 2 more entries, for the new kernel and the recovery boot.
How can I edit the GRUB2 boot menu so that I only see the installations I want to boot to? Start Up Manager is no help here. I am not very experienced in using the command line so I would need step by step instructions. I'm afraid that with more kernel updates the boot menu will become very unwieldy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
