   It's easy in the terminal... If you know the general location of the file:   
      
   $ cd /boot/grub/   
      
   Then:   
      
   $ ls | grep 'menu'   
      
   And then when you find the file name:   
      
   $ vim menu.lst   
      
   or if you have no idea where it might be, type:   
      
   $ locate menu.lst   
      
   or    
      
   $ locate menu > menu_locater.txt   
      
   and then browse through the menu_locater.txt file to find the file you are   
   looking for.
