This is my first post for nearly two weeks. The reason for this is that I've been in Brazil since the last post. A combination of some unfortunate turn-of-events together with some extreme but very genuine Brazilian hospitality has severely limited the availability of my blogging time.
Anyway, I managed to get Foresight 2.0 installed and working fine on my MacBook.
The primary, if not the only, obstacle here was that the Foresight installer got very upset that I wasn't putting the boot partition (actually the root partition) on one of the first partitions and refused to go any further.
Of course, this is totally false as I already had two other Linux OSes on partitions other than the first four and they boot fine.
Nevertheless, I had to move Ubuntu root out of /dev/sda3 and re-install it in /dev/sda10 (without reformatting its /home). Note that I put the Ubuntu Grub bootloader in the mbr and it booted fine from here.
Then I put Foresight 2.0 on /dev/sda3 (although I made a mess of creating a /home -- have to look at how I can retrieve that situation) and everything worked fine.
I posted details to the Foresight forum
