As some of you may know I used Nehal J Wani's YouTube video to successfully set up a LL2.4/Win8.1 dual-boot, with UEFI fully enabled on an Asus G750js laptop. Within the next month I intend to post here a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this.
However, I have one very minor issue to resolve, and would appreciate guidance on this.
My grub-screen lists the choice of the above two operating systems, except that LL is listed as Ubuntu: this is because an Ubuntu live disk is needed to enable UEFI in the final stages of LL installation. Now Wani's video does show how to edit grub.cfg using 'Vim' software, so that the grub-screen listing of 'Ubuntu' is changed to 'Linux Lite', but his video runs so fast I find it almost impossible to clarify what he's done. Also he uses LL2.0, so the inside of grub.cfg looks a bit different to LL2.4.
Using sudo apt-get install vim I downloaded the required software but am unsure what to do next.
Any help/guidance gratefully received.

Mike
