[lug] Booting Multiple Linuxes

[Elyse Grasso]

I should note that grub installs by default with KRUD (RedHat) 7.2. So i just 
needed to edit the menu.lst file to get it to do what I wanted.

I should also note that I don't know whether the initrd line in my file, 
(created by anaconda) is really necessary, since 7.1 doesn't seem to need one.
