so Gnome died somehow, I reinstalled and it fixed it however now when I boot the default is different, and it has a bunch of extra options I don't want. I opened up disk/boot/grub/menu.lst and found this, I'm pretty sure I know what to move/delete to get it how I want but I'm unsure. Currently:

so since I don't want the "Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic" and instead want the -9 as default, along with -9 recovery mode, and Vista and nothing else, can I just delete the entries I don't want, or comment them out, and move the "Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic" and it's info to the default spot?
