I found this --- but Lite does not have Gedit installed .  Should I be able to use the "Simple Text Editor " ad how do I get the equivalent of( sudo gedit /etc/default/grub)

Yes.

Gedit happens to be the text editor used in those instructions, but any text editor can be substituted.  The real name of the "Simple Text Editor" used in Linux Lite is "leafpad".  So just substitute "leafpad" wherever you see "gedit" in the instructions.

Instructions will work as shown with that substitution, but technically you should use "gksu" or "gksudo" in place of "sudo" when opening a GUI program from the terminal as root.

So, to open that grub file in leafpad:

Code:

gksu leafpad /etc/default/grub

Then just follow instructions to edit the file with changes; save the file; then close leafpad.

Once leafpad is closed, the prompt will return to the terminal and you can then run:

Code:

sudo update-grub
