+
+
+  The tool automatically figures out the GeoIP location of each mirror by itself.
+  But you could also specify them on the commandline.
+
+  If you want to edit a mirror later, use
+    mb edit <identifier>
+
+  To simply display a mirror dataset, you'd use 'mb show kddilabs', for instance.
+
+  Finally, each mirror needs to be scanned and enabled:
+    mb scan --enable <identifier>
