I find it a handy addition (fc17x86_64) in ´system settings > startup
& shutdown´ when installed.It does not install as a package menu item
, but part of system settings etc.
PackagesPackages are the most straightforward way to install GRUB2
Editor. Simply select your distribution and architecture below:

RepositoriesOn the other hand, you may subscribe to a repository in
order to automatically get new updates:
For Fedora 17 run the following as root:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ksmanis/Fedora_17/home:ks\
manis.repo
yum install kcm-grub2
NB: Installs in System settings > startup & shutdown > Grub2
BootloaderIt is not a menu package.
Along with this (redhat people) set yum.conf

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the
metadata# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of
not having to# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not
having correct# information.# It is esp. important, to have correct
metadata, for distributions like# Fedora which don't keep old packages
around. If you don't like this checking# interupting your command line
usage, it's much better to have something# manually check the metadata
once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).# metadata_expire=90m
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo# in
/etc/yum.repos.d--------------------------------------------------------\

keeps 2 kernels only in /boot and prevents it getting crowded.

controls to adj volume in 64 bit linux? If so, mention it, and I will
