Bug Description
Ubuntu/Debian needs a graphical "Boot Options" config panel under System -> Administration written in GTK+2 (or possibly something like wxPython, which I understand would make it native to KDE as well).
It should be aimed at Grub2 and preferably introduced simultaneously (I don't know when it will be ready). Ideally no-one should have to edit a menu.lst manually ever.
It should have the capabilities that Grub2 has, like adding/editing entries (it should be able to detect/confirm installed OSes and their location), setting timeout, colours and Bootsplash (themeable), etc.
It should also be able to recover installed sytems from a LiveCD, ie you can tell it to change root to a particular install and fix/install Grub on the MBR.
