If you right-click on it you will get an option to open it with a text editor. Make your changes and then save it. To do this via command line, open up a terminal window and su - to root. Then use the command line text editor called nano to open and edit the file: nano -w /etc/grub.conf Use the arrows to move up and down the file, and when you have finished use CTRL-O to write the changes (say Y to accept it) and then CTRL-X to exit out of nano. Example of line to edit: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet acpi=force	Jen (38)
