you might be better off re-installing those new os's and letting them install their boot loaders. You can always get SuSE back by booting from the SuSE DVD and then re-writing the MBR once you're in there.
I got the Fedora 5 entry by reinstalling Fedora and allowing it to install its own GRUB (which does not detect and include boot menu items for other Linux distros BTW), and then using the SUSE DVD to install a new boot loader. This time it detected the Fedora 5 installation and created an entry automatically. (Last time I had not installed Fedora's GRUB so YaST@DVD did not know how to configure the item for Fedora 5, I presume.) -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-06 W14-4 UTC+0530
