How do I edit the dual boot menu?
After, almost each, security update a new Linux option gets added. How do I erase the old ones? I looked under usr/bin for boot, menu, and screen. I could not find any of those directory names.
I also tried going to /boot/grub and found menu. It has a text document icon with an X on it and, to the right, says, "Link to unknown." After double-clicking on it I got:
Could not open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst.
You do not have the permissions necessary to open the file.
Following is the stuff under /boot
/boot/efi
/boot/grub
/boot/lost+found
