  <para>You can add an entry or modify the one you select first, by pressing
  the relevant button in the <emphasis>Bootloader Configuration</emphasis>
  screen and editing the screen that pops up on top of it.</para>

  <note>
    <para>If you have chosen <code>Grub 2</code> as your bootloader, or
    Grub2-efi for UEFI systems, you cannot use this tool to edit entries at
    this step, press 'Next'. You need to manually edit
    <code>/boot/grub2/custom.cfg</code> or use <code>grub-customizer</code>
    instead.</para>

  <para>Some things that can be done without any risk, are changing the label
  of an entry and ticking the box to make an entry the default one.</para>

  <para>You can add the proper version number of an entry, or rename it
  completely.</para>

  <para>The default entry is the one the systems boots into if you don't make
  a choice while booting up.</para>

  <warning>
    <para>Editing other things can leave you with an unbootable system. Please
    don't just try something without knowing what you are doing.</para>
