Here's a copy of the boot menu that appears in colors when my computer 
is turned on:

    Windows XP (Autoboots in 10 seconds)    (hda1, hd0,0)
     
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ubuntu 7.10 (CD version ) (Installed on external HD -- hd2,2)
    Ubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (CD version) hda2/hd0,1 sda2)
    Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.22-16-generic (DVD version)(hd0,2 sda3)
    Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.22-16-generic (CD version) (hd0,4 hda5, sda5)


Windows XP was chosen to autoboot because I have great-grandchildren who
bring their Windows game CDs when they visit.  I have a few games for 
them in UBUNTU
but I have to set them up.  UBUNTU must be selected before the 10 second 
autoboot
delay times out.

I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst in the external hard drive to create the 
boot menu. I used the
copy/paste method to arrange the menu items then did a save.

Comments?
