'''This Author's opinion:''' I suspect that this new method was designed to make things simpler, but I prefer (or at least I got used to) editing menu.lst file...
== The "Dreaded" Growing Grub Bootloader Menu List ==
Since Ubuntu Linux distributes a major release every six months, and new kernel distributions can be made available between major releases, the Grub bootloader menu list can grow big.
I have seen my Bootloader menu grow to such an extent, that I have to scroll down several screens to boot a non-Linux OS! Therefore, occasionally, you can edit the Grub bootloader to shorten that list.
Just two things to remember <u>prior</u> to editing:
* Create a backup prior to editing.
* Don't remove the CURRENT DEFAULT Operating System to boot!
Hope this helps :)
