weird utility - change grub selection for next boot

I have a box that some remote developers are going to be using for testing. they are windows developers, so no command line access or editing menu.lst. They are testing using different distributions (to test different web browsers in "different environments" - don't ask, I can't convince them). I was hoping for a nice GUI client that will edit menu.lst for them, so they can reboot to the different distros. Anything like this?

thanks in advance

Re: weird utility - change grub selection for next boot

I'm not sure if its exactly what you need, but openSuSE has a utility called grubonce.  It lets you select the OS to run at next boot only, subsequent boots use the default.  Its a CLI tool and can't be run within windows.  I've knocked together a little kdialog script that adds a basic GUI to it.  E-mail me if you're interested and I'll send it along.
