grub customizer

If you often need to customize GRUB entries, the usual way we do this is to edit the configuration files by hand. With GRUB 2.00 arriving, this has become more complicated as GRUB entries do not reside on a single file. However, GRUB Customizer is a nice app that allows you to view, edit and manage GRUB entries in a simpler way.

The version 3.0.1 of GRUB Customizer comes with the following changes:

* entries can be moved free now
* integrated settings dialog
* new partition chooser
* context menu
* multi selection
* trash instead of checkboxes
* entry editor
* graphical error handlung
* reset functionality
* warning when trying to remove script- or system entries

To install GRUB Customizer in Ubuntu, you need to add a PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
