If you are using GRUB2, it no longer uses /boot/grub/menu.lst although one may still be present on your system.  <br><br>You did not say in your email what distribution you were using or what version of GRUB yoou are using.  If I imply PClinuxOS from your reference material and check that, it seems the latest version(s) may be using GRUB2 though I did not check how the decision was made by/for the user.  If they did it like Ubuntu, you got GRUB2 if you did a clean install, but stayed with GRUB 0.97 if you did an upgrade.<br>
<br>To be honest, I did not re-read this to look if it solves your question, but I have resolved virtually every GRUB2 issue I have tried using the info at <br>     <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2</a><br>

How can one change the grub boot options titles or labels<br>
as they appear on the boot splash screen?<br>
<br>
I finally found a tutorial that explains how to change the<br>
boot splash screen background image at the following URL:<br>
<br>
- - - <a href="http://www.cozmodesigns.co.uk/Tutorials/bootsplashtutorial.odt" target="_blank">www.cozmodesigns.co.uk/Tutorials/bootsplashtutorial.odt</a><br>
<br>
However, the titles or labels for the various boot options<br>
shown on that splash screen are different than the titles<br>
as listed in the /boot/grub/menu.lst (example shown below).<br>
<br>
Why is that? And where (and how) can I change the titles or labels<br>
as they appear on the splash screen?<br>
<br>
menu.lst example:<br>
<br>
timeout 10<br>
color black/cyan yellow/cyan<br>
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/gfxmenu<br>
default 0<br>
<br>
title linux<br>
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux<br>
root=UUID=2fdea9d5-beca-4192-8b2e-44b53696fa3d<br>
resume=UUID=c0c7f1be-ff0f-4f18-a86d-a98bd91d0e62 splash=silent vga=788<br>
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img<br>
<br>
title linux-nonfb<br>
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux-nonfb<br>
root=UUID=2fdea9d5-beca-4192-8b2e-44b53696fa3d<br>
resume=UUID=c0c7f1be-ff0f-4f18-a86d-a98bd91d0e62<br>
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img<br>
<br>
title failsafe<br>
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe<br>
root=UUID=2fdea9d5-beca-4192-8b2e-44b53696fa3d  failsafe<br>
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img<br>
<br>
