Ok sounds good.  I'll remove the installation instructions from the
sugar labs wiki and point to the instructions at
http://mirrorbrain.org/docs/installation/debian/ .

If you set up a svn account, I'll continue to work on the source docs
as we get this set up for Sugar Labs.

Another thing I noticed this morning is that something is wrong with
the permission on the GeoIP.dat file.  When installed according to the
directions, I get a file not found error when adding a new mirror via
./mirrordoctor new ....

OK, as you bring the packages on line, I'll create a installing from
packages page as written by someone who does not under stand
mirrorbrain very well.

If you send me your pubkey, I can give you access to
mirrorbrain.sugarlabs.org , the vm on which we are doing mirrorbrain
testing.
