        <!-- FIXME: Reword this when no longer in experimental -->
        <para>
            OSTree has the ability do pulls not just from configured remote
            servers but also from peer computers on the LAN and from mounted
            filesystems such as USB drives. Currently this requires compiling
            OSTree with experimental API enabled, and it requires the use of
            collection IDs and GPG verification.
        </para>
        <para>
            The <command>find-remotes</command> command searches for remotes
            which claim to provide one or more of the given COLLECTION-ID REF
            pairs and prints information about them, with remotes sorted by
            latency (Mounts > LAN > Internet). By default, OSTree searches for
            remotes in configuration files, on mounted filesystems (in a
            well-known location), and on the LAN using Avahi. Searching for LAN
            remotes requires OSTree to have been compiled with Avahi support,
            and it requires an Avahi daemon to be running. You can override the
            default set of finders (sources for remotes) using the
            <option>--finders</option> option documented below.
