Sorry to be so late replying to this post -- I've only just noticed it. I think you are right, and that tutorial is wrong. I posted a similar question to this group a couple of months ago...

And the conclusion was that you can't use this mechanism to check for an existing installation unless you are doing a major upgrade [which is incompatible with distribution as a patch :-( ]. I did email the tutorial author, but the tutorial doesn't seem to have been corrected. -- Cheers, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
