you can edit anything you want your only login as root or su root password, and no have any trouble.

I tried that, this is how I did it:
open terminal type su
enter your pass
then type
pcmanfm
go to your /boot/grub directory
right click menu.lst choose open with leafpad
now you can edit the file

i dont know if i understand, but to no have troubles in edit any files just begin a session like root and you no have troubles.

Before this all I did is open the terminal
and typed
su
password
/boot/grub/menu.lst file
And I could shange the boot.
But now it says permission denied.
I have done this many times sense
I started using slitaz. So I do
not know why all of a sudden on
my new install I can not do it
that way.....
But I have it done... Always one
way or another lol

If you do a 'ls -la /boot/grub/menu.lst' it will tell you whether file permissions have been changed. Usually, you would see something like
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 986 Jul 20 17:22 menu.lst
If somehow you managed to change the permissions for this file then that could be one of the reasons why you cannot write to this file.

All I did was install slitaz to my hd and now I do not have permission to do that.
Did not change any thing...

Did you really type
# /boot/grub/menu.lst file
???
Since menu.lst IS an ASCII-file, you should open it using an editor.
This could be nano (cmd-line-driven):
# nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
or (graphical)
# leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst
after having switched to root by su and passwd...

Yes your are right Filou I'm dadadadada
nano /boot/grub/menu.lst file is the correct way of doing it.
And I did it that way many times and it worked. Must be
getting old, loosing my memory.....
Thanks
