Thanks to Tomosaur over at the Ubuntu forums, there’s a new script in town and it’s called GrubEd. This powerful little script allows you to graphically edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to do neat things like add splash screens or change the number of kernels displayed.
You can download the script here. You can read more about it below.
Default menu item editing: Set Grub to boot into whichever OS you want through a handy menu.
Timeout editing: Set the timeout to whatever you feel like. Displays a confirmation box if you set it below 3 seconds.
Disable the timeout: Always getting caught out? Just disable the timeout!
Hide Grub: Hide or unhide the Grub menu depending on your current settings.
Change custom colour settings: Set grub to a colour scheme of your choice!
–NEW!–Add a Grub splash screen: Make Grub display an image as it’s background!
Enable / Disable memtest86: Don’t want it? Scrap it 
Change the number of kernels Grub shows: Confused by a big list of the same OS? Simply change the number of kernels to keep your list tidy!
Direct Edit: Shows your entire Grub settings file for easy editing.
Reboot: Reboot your machine to test your new settings.
Backup: Back up your current Grub settings. I reccommend you use this first!
Restore: Easily restore your backed up Grub settings file.
geek out.
