Martin, I appreciate your help, but I am still confused about the whole |
| 20 |
<eix> thing. |
| 21 |
My goal is to be able to query both local and remote data with one |
| 22 |
command. To this end, what should the simplest configuration settings |
| 23 |
be, and in relation to those settings, what would the sequence of |
| 24 |
commands be for updating and then querying? |
