Using GRUB 2 is harder than GRUB 1 for these use cases:It looks like if I want to reorder GRUB 2 menu entries appear in the selection window, I have to rename the files in /etc/grub.d/ directory.If I have to change boot order, I first have to look in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, check when the entry I want to be default appears, then set the GRUB_DEFAULT parameter in /etc/default/grub to match it (counting from 0).The old GRUB used to allow me to do all of this by just moving text entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst around. This much-simpler way kept me using GRUB 1 for a while. This makes me wonder if there's a specialized tool to make all of this easier.
Is there an easier way to manipulate GRUB 2 entries?
