Dear Sir, I have tried as per your suggestion but it still doesn't seem to be working. After this, Even though the installation process says "you need not be the root user" I sudo-ed most commands and it seemed to be working, installation seems to be successful from the prompts. (However, typing 'mirage --help' doesn't work yet, says install mirage thought apt-get ). Can I proceed? Or am I doing something wrong?
