That's true, but when using a boot manager it's a lot easier to do this than 
editing configuration-files which I would have to do if I started everything 
from mint.cnf. But there's no problem in creating a boot-manager that works 
by manipulating mint.cnf or perhaps a startup-script run from mint.cnf. It 
could also (de)activate the correct device drivers for the current hardware.
