i have downloaded the alternate CD to upgrade my 7.10 to 8.04 since my internet connection is slow.
when i had finished the upgrade, it seems my grub/menu was messed up.
this is now my menu.lst

i dont know what went wrong or what but everything seems to be working fine though.
my question is this, is it safe to delete the following entries ?
