Summary

Rationale

A novice user or a non-English user should have the tools to set up the GRUB menu easily.

Use cases

• Walter is a new Kubuntu user. He wants to add a nice theme to the boot menu and also change the timeout. He looks for the configuration tool in K menu -> System Settings.

• John is a new Kubuntu user but he also has another OS installed in his computer. He wants to change the boot order so that the other OS is second in the menu.
• Bronislav is a Kubuntu user from a non-English speaking country. He doesn't understand the descriptions in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and he is also not sure what the options mean. He expects to edit the GRUB menu is his own language.
