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

<p>If you have chosen <code class="code">Grub 2</code> as your bootloader, you cannot use
this tool to edit entries at this step, press 'Next'. You need to manually
edit <code class="code">/boot/grub2/custom.cfg</code> or use <code class="code">grub-customizer</code>
instead.

<p>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.
</p>
<p>You can add the proper version number of an entry, or rename it completely.</p>
<p>The default entry is the one the systems boots into if you don't make a
choice while booting up.
</p>
<div class="warning" title="Paralajmërim" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<table border="0" summary="Warning">

<p>Editing other things can leave you with an unbootable system. Please don't

<p>In this case you are using Grub2-efi and you cannot use this tool to edit
entries at this step. To do that you need to manually edit
<code class="code">/boot/grub2/custom.cfg</code> or use <code class="code">grub-customizer</code>
instead. All you can do here, is to choose the default entry in the drop
down list.
</p>
<p>After a click on the <span class="guibutton">Next</span> button, another drop down
list allows to choose the video resolution for Grub2 which is a graphical
boot loader.
