How to Edit GRUB in Karmic

Karmic is the name of an older version -- version 9 -- of the Ubuntu operating system, a Linux operating system that is free for anyone to download and install on their computer. Ubuntu uses the GRUB boot screen to control the computer's boot process. To edit this menu, edit the GRUB configuration file inside of Ubuntu.
