I find Lilo easier to tweak, but perhaps that is because I never tried 
or had to try to change settings in Grub. The reason I use Grub anyway 
is because Lilo is recognised by my PC bios as a virus (very annoying 
sound that makes) and I do not want to turn off the bios virus scanner, 
since I am also still running Windows on that computer :)
I think Lilo is installed on a different part of the disk, and/or works 
differently because I only and always get the virusscanner problem with 
Lilo (it's been like that through several releases from RedHat and 
Mandrake).
