> Aha, so when you use the term "name" you refer ONLY to "lvm" whereas I refer to
"lvm-1.0.8-i486-1".

location,

This is spelled out in other places within the FAQ, such as #29 or the examples with the "dlg"
tag in the version.  I will try and be more explicit in those places you mentioned.


take care,
