GRUB setting


I just install the new Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 to my PC with Suse 9.2 is the default now I want to ask how to configure the GRUB loader setting?

what Vmlinuz bla bla I must fill with?
what initrd bla bla I must fill with?


for example now I can do triple booting with SUSE 9.2, Win XP, FC3 and now I want Ubuntu because I fell Ubuntu is a great one.... I like it when I try The live CD version...
why I need vmlinuz and initrd....? because maybe I need it like my FC3....like this :

section name Fedora Core 3
section type Image
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 root=/dev/hdb3 splash=verbose selinux=0
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

now I have installed my Ubuntu into hdb2 or (hd0,1)

so can somebody help me please....
