[RndTbl] grub.conf

Your first assumption is right.  The "title" keyword begins a new section,
and the following lines (indented for clarity) are all part of that same
section, so you would delete them all together.

However, if those lines were created by the installation of a particular
kernel RPM, the removal of that RPM (with "rpm -e") would also modify the
grub.conf file accordingly.  It's all a question of how/why you want those
lines removed, but under normal circumstances, you rarely have to edit
grub.conf yourself under Red Hat Linux.
