Grub menu editing

[frog]

1. Created many partitions on HD
2. Installed many Linux OS on HD using CD's burned with downloaded .iso's
3. INSTALLED TINYME LAST because it has the best Grub creation tool.
4. Used a live CD of Puppy (No problems with permissions) to edit:
boot -> grub -> menu.lst found in the TinyMe partition.
5. This is what produced an elegant result:

timeout 30
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
