-<para>Finally, if you can mount the Nix store of a remote machine in
-your local filesystem, Nix can copy paths from the remote Nix store to
-the local Nix store <emphasis>on demand</emphasis>.  For instance,
-suppose that you mount a remote machine containing a Nix store via
-<command
-xlink:href="http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html">sshfs</command>:
 
-<screen>
-$ sshfs alice@itchy.example.org:/ /mnt</screen>

-You should then set the <envar>NIX_OTHER_STORES</envar> environment
-variable to tell Nix about this remote Nix store:
-
-<screen>
-$ export NIX_OTHER_STORES=/mnt/nix</screen>
-
-Then if you do any Nix operation, e.g.
-
-<screen>
-$ nix-env -i firefox</screen>
-
-and Nix has to build a path that it sees is already present in
-<filename>/mnt/nix</filename>, then it will just copy from there
-instead of building it from source.</para>
