<h2> Downloading and installing gEDA</h2>
</center>
+
<p>
-You may download and install gEDA using several different methods.
-Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Please read the
-descriptions of the different files and install methods below before you
-download gEDA. Also, if one install method doesn't work for you, please
+Several different methods to install gEDA exist. Select your
+installation method depending upon your Linux distribution and your
+level of expertise. If one install method doesn't work for you, please
try a different one. Consult the <a href="http://geda.seul.org/wiki/";>
-gEDA wiki</a> for further download/install tips.

+<h3> Distribution Packages / Binaries</h3>
+</center>
-<h3> Some words to the wise:</h3>
-
-
-<li>gEDA is a set of <strong>GNU/Linux or Unix</strong>-native programs.
-There is no Windows version. However, since most programs are based
-on the cross-platform GTK+ libraries, it is theoretically possible to
-build a Windows version. Therefore, if you want a Windows version,
-please feel free to grab the sources and try to build one yourself.</li>
+<p>
+Installing gEDA using a pre-built package is the most painless method
+to install the software. Automated package installers like "yum" or
+"apt-get" handle all dependencies for you. Newbies should use these
+methods to install gEDA on their systems. Alternately, good old "rpm"
+will also work, although you may need to install dependencies first.
+</p>
-<li>The gEDA programs use the GTK+ libraries. If you are running KDE, you
-should have no problem building and installing them <strong> as long as
-the GTK+ libraries are installed on your system.</strong></li>
+<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" style="border: 1px solid rgb(150, 150, 150); text-align: left;"
+width="100%" border=1>
-<li>gEDA/gaf, as well as the gEDA-allied programs have certain
-dependencies. These are libraries and other programs which must be present on
-your system to build and run gEDA successfully. When trying to
-install gEDA, you may find that you need to install other, seemingly
-unrelated programs first. This is part of the <strong>normal</strong>
-process of installing GNU/Linux or Unix software. Note that the
-installation methods presented below provide you with different
-approaches to handling the dependency issue. (Also, gEDA/gaf has a
-very light dependency footprint. However, other gEDA-allied programs
-may have more dependencies.) If you find you are missing dependencies
-during the installation process <strong>don't dispair!</strong>
-Overcoming any dependency issue is a simple matter of installing the
-required program or library.

-<h3> What are these files?</h3>
-These files hold precompiled binary executables in formats

-binary packages are also available for other gEDA-allied programs such as PCB.

-<h3> Why should I install using these packages?</h3>
-Use these packages if you want to let apt-get, yum, etc. sort out any
-dependencies required on your system. Installing these binaries
-is also much quicker than installing using any source-based method.
-For users of common GNU/Linux distributions this is usually the easiest
-method to install gEDA. Also, the Fink packages available here are
-the only way to get gEDA up and running on a Mac. On the other hand,
-not all gEDA-allied packages exist as binary distributions. If you
-are looking for a paricular program, check first that it exists here.
-Then Google. </p>

-<h3> What is this?</h3>
-<p>
-This file holds the "gEDA Suite" in a single .iso file. The "gEDA
-Suite" moniker designates about ten major tools useful for electronic
-design, including:
-</p>
-<p>
-<li>gEDA/gaf -- Schematic capture and netlisting</li>
-<li>PCB -- PCB layout</li>
-<li>gerbv -- Gerber file viewer</li>
-<li>ngspice -- Analog SPICE simulation</li>
-<li>gnucap -- Next-gen analog simulation</li>
-<li>Icarus Verilog -- Digital design/simulation</li>
-<li>GTKWave -- Waveform viewing</li>
-<li>several other useful tools</li>
-</p>
+</tbody></table>
-<p>
-Each program is held as a source tarball in the .iso file. The .iso
-file also holds a stand-alone install wizard which opens each
-tarball, and builds and installs the program on your machine. The
-wizard also tries to determine any missing dependencies and will
-install the required package for you as root. Note that the wizard will
-run <strong>only</strong> on GNU/Linux.
-</p>
+<hrule>
-<p>
-<h3> Why should I install using the .iso?</h3>
-<p>
-Use the gEDA Suite .iso if you want to grab all components of the
-"gEDA Suite" in a single, convenient (albeit large) download. You
-should also use the .iso to install if you want to let the wizard
-handle the package build for you, and your system is amongst those
-listed below.
-</p>
+<center>
+<a name="iso"></a>
+<br>
+<h3> gEDA Suite CDROM</h3>
+</center>
<p>
-This .iso with the bundled install wizard
-tends to work well, but you might hit a snag if your GNU/Linux distro is
-too old, too new, or strangely configured. The .iso has been
-tested and is known to work on the following systems:
-<br/>
-<li>Fedora Core 4</li>
-<li>Fedora Core 5</li>
-<li>SuSE 9.3</li>
-<li>SuSE 10.0</li>
-<br/>
-It should work with most recent GNU/Linux distros which have the build
-tools installed (Ubuntu doesn't).
-On the other hand,
-since the distribution producers like to change their configurations
-with each new release, there are no guarantees that the installer will
-run to completion on your particular system.
-If you have a problem using this CD, try reading INSTALL file below,
-or consult the
-install notes available on the
-<a href="http://geda.seul.org/wiki/";>
-gEDA wiki</a>.
+The gEDA Suite CDROM holds the most comprehensive set of gEDA-allied
+applications as source tarballs.
+The CDROM includes an "install wizard" which builds and
+installs all
+programs from source.
+The install wizard also attempts to install any dependencies you are
+missing (common dependencies are also held on the image as source tarballs).
+Use the CDROM
+to install the entire gEDA Suite if you want all programs allied with
+the gEDA project, and your machine already has software build tools (make, gcc, etc.) installed.
</p>

-<font color="#FF0000"><strong>New users</strong></font>: For new users having trouble installing gEDA using their distribution's packages, please install the gEDA tools using the installer on the gEDA Suite CDROM. <p>
