I installed Foresight off of its live disc, but it never shows up in my GRUB. I really want to use ForeSight, and if anyone could help me make GRUB recognise it, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if this is in the wrong section, please move me.

Try running "update-grub (as root, or with sudo: "sudo update-grub"), reboot and take a look, then let me know if it worked or not and we can go from there. Penguin

Did the command run, and give some output ? Or did you get a "command not found" type error ? If it ran, but didn't seem to do much, try moving the grub menu file first, using "sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_back" then re-running the update command. Penguin
