The term "installation" is often used to mean either an initial installation or an upgrade; as the underlying behavior can be quite different between the two, I was attempting to use the terms as precisely as possible so as to be clear for which case a specific requirement (for example) applies. But I may well have over-used it to some extent, and I'll re-examine that issue as I'm folding in the comments received. At least I didn't use "custom Jumpstart", which I agree is redundant ;-) Dave
