After upgrading my Ubuntu box I find that everytime I boot up I see alot of items on my GRUB list.
So I decided to delete the useless ones.
So just so that I wont forget next time here’s how I did it:
Hit ALT+F2 then type the following & run:
gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Select & delete the ones you dont want.
Here’s a screenshot of my case:

I deleted the ones that I have selected (highlighted) & “Save” the file.
Reboot & there you go. All those useless items are gone!

I had to do this too, but I figured it out on my own. Since I run Fedora, the package was not installed for gksu, so I had to download it and install it. I went one step further, though, going and deleting the BIG kernel files (map files, etc.) that had the same name as the ones I took out of the grub config file, which were located in the /root directory (of course). Freed up some disk space for sure, and now I can run commands from the X-Window system!
