Re: gEDA-user: adding footprints?!

[handsome greg <xdissent@xxxxxxxxx>]

wow.  i cant thank you enough!  i did successfully get a footprint
made, and i get all that now.  the howto on the pcb site was missing a
step.  i think mouser re-added the switch to my project after i had
already deleted it an replaced it with #108-1MS1T1B1M2QE which is
pcmount.  thanks for the catch though.  that could have been bad =)

serious thanks again!!!!
