What's involved in "reinstalling" GRUB? I started with a Red Hat 7.1
box and my upgrade to 7.2 replaced LILO with GRUB. I didn't get to see
the process, just the change in menu style.

My partitioning scheme is C:, /boot, D:-F:, /root, other Linux stuff. I
just figured that GRUB was like LILO and there was a binary on the MBR
that somehow was coded with how to find its config. I'm not really
clear on the architecture or philosphy of GRUB. (Is there an overview
document that shows how the pieces all fit together?)
