Well, drive B is always hidden and the MMU is [dis|en]abled from the
boot menu. But I see what you mean. You want a GEM tool to edit mint.cnf
and probably also xaaes.cnf. It's a good idea, but not a trivial
project. The GUI is a brilliant innovation but can not compete with a
simple text-editor when it comes to editing even quite simple
configuration files. And I don't think the problem with mint.cnf is the
actual editing, but to understand what you're doing. A GUI can't help
with that :)

I think xaaes.cnf is better suited for a GUI. It has simple options but
editing can be tedious (e.g. app-specific options).
