If you append them at the end of the file, they won't be used.  Things
need to be set in the file *before* they're used.  The file is read from
the top of the file, but not all of the file in the one go.

i.e. You have settings that are read before the menu appears, items that
will be listed in the menu, and options that will only be run when you
pick an item from the list.

If you put a password at the end, it won't be read until everything else
has already happened.  And if booting is started by an item, nothing
else in the configuration file after that point will be read.

If you're using tools to automatically remove a line and replace it,
then you'd do something like that.  Otherwise, *YOU* will be doing that
by hand.

As far as the example file being different from yours, that's normal.
There are many different things that you can put into the grub.conf
file, you don't need *all* of them.
