New install of Leap 42.2_x86-64 and love it. Using Grub 2. I see how to select the default boot, but would like to remove some old versions and reorder the boot list. Used to be able to do all of that via YaST or editing the files. It’s not in YaST any more, and the files say they are not editable. There must be a way to do this. Thanks in advance for the help.

any bootloader experts?

Hi
Look down in /etc/grub.d and also in /etc/default/grub file. Make sure
you run the following to update;
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
What you probably need to do is look at running the purge-kernel
systemd service and this will remove all the old entries, you could also
look at the configuration file for this in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and set
the multiversion.kernels option.
