Debian/Ubuntu kernel update question

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 I noticed on my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) that I have 6 kernels and the 
relevant menu items in GRUB. I also found that the default kernel 
setting in menu.lst was pointing at the 2.6.24-16 kernel rather than 
the 2.6.24-19 kernel. While I can manually remove the older kernels 
(2.6.20 and 2.6.22) and edit menu.lst with vim, I was wondering 
(mainly for inexperienced users): 
Is there a GUI bootloader utility that can be used to easily edit the 
menu.lst and remove old kernels along with associated things like 
system.map and initrd. I don't particularly like telling installfest 
attendees to edit their menu.lst. 

Is there a setting that can limit the number of installed kernels. I 
think that most people would want only the current kernel, and the 
previous kernel. 

Again, my question is not how to, as I already know that, but my 
question is really for relatively new Linux users who may not like to 
use the command line.
