They are both bootloaders, just have slightly different features, (but for some of my older computers I have only gotten lilo to work).  They both can chainload to other bootloaders as well.  Afaik, the main difference is that lilo is loaded all into the mbr, while grub can have its "stage2" on some other media (easier and safer for editing menu entries).

Good info.  Thanks hatsrule.  

Thanks again to both you and Roberts on this.  Now I have to learn how to unlearn Windows.
