Right, technically it's not a conf file, but that's not really what %conf
is for, it's just a pointer for rpm.

Everyone likes to use if [ -f blah ]; then ; fi.
Using if test -f blah; then fi is portable. No we are only on Mandrake so
we don't have to worry about portability beyond Mandrake in this case, but
as a general rule this method is more portable and you don't have to fuss
with brackets. Also because [ is just a symlink to test, it *must* have a
space before an after, similaryly with ] which is just a null link. Make
sure you have spaces on either side like [ blah ] not [ blah]. That could
be creating a problem.
Anyway, bedtime for me :)
