Apparently, you have multiple Linux distros installed on your hard disk.  
Which distro did you boot to?  How did you boot to this "distro", a 
liveCD?

Not necessary.  Boot with a liveCD (that has grub-install), mount the 
hard disk partition that has the /boot partition on /mnt.  Use 
grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/<your hard disk device>

What is that you don't like about SuSE10.3 grub?  It is no different 
from the grub installed by other Linux distros.
