update-grub help, menu.lst is not changing



Sorry about this newbie stuff question.
But, last full Debian way of configuration i was in was in the lilo days and Grub was still new.

It has been a while since..

OK, here goes..

I have edited /boot/grub/menu.lst

and tried to remove this line..

## ## End Default Options ##

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/hda2 ro
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686
savedefault

# this following lines, remove!
#title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-4-686 (single-user mode)
#root            (hd0,1)
#kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-686 root=/dev/hda2 ro single
#initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686
#savedefault

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

And after typing update-grub, that whole line goes back to being UN-commented. How can i edit that permanently? I have tried adding this..

updatedefaultentry=false

before

## ## End Default Options ##

But, it is still the same.

Please help!
