I'm sorry, I wrote the wrong command. The command should have been *sudo chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg* (Not +x) After you are done with the editing run *sudo chmod -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg* The commands Prasad has posted will also work.
To remove memtest+ entries of the installation which is having the grub, just make the following change to */etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+* (remember to open it as superuser) Line 23 looks like - *if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then* change that to - *if ! test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then* ie put a *!* (which means not) just after if with blank space before and after. To change the order change the number given at the beginning of the filenames inside /etc/grub.d/ *10_linux* - Entry for your live OS (Ubuntu 9.10) *20_memtest+* - memtest+ entry *30_os-prober* - Entry for other OSes For example if you want the entry for Ubuntu 9.10 to come after other OSes then change the filename of *10_linux* to something like *35_linux*. After you have done your editing run the command *sudo update-grub* to update your grub.cfg. Which title do you want to change and to what? Kindly post the current titles and the expected ones.
