simple boot menu


using madrake comunity on a new gateway laptop (girlfriend's laptop that is)

she said ok to the dual booting with her windows xp

but

she doesnt like to see the other two options

failsafe and
linux nonfb

on the boot menu

is there a simple way to remove (or if unwise to do so) mask them so they dont show up

I am not too concerned with the failsafe mode because i would probably just reinstall anyway if i had a serious problem.

I know enough about linux to edit some of the the conf type files but not the one for the boot menu.

I think i am using lilo (mandrake -default)

Go to menu - system-configuration- configure your computer
enter ur root password, the mandrake control center will show up , Go to boot, click on Boot loader
click the next button in the right down corner, it will show the list of the boot options that u have .
U can click on the one u don't want it to show and remove them by clicking the remove button at the right side
if u finnish ,click the finnish button and close the mcc
the next time u boot ,the LILo or Grub will only show the boot options u left in the MCC
