gEDA-user: New version of gEDA Suite availabl

[Stuart Brorson <sdb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have created a new revision of the gEDA Suite install CD, and placed
it on the gEDA main download page:

http://geda.seul.org/download.html

The gEDA Suite install CD is an .iso image holding the latest
gEDA/gaf, PCB and other important open-source EDA tools, and
incorporating an install wizard which automatically looks for package
dependencies, and then builds the components of the gEDA Suite from
source.

On this release I placed the new versions of gEDA/gaf,
Gnucap, and Icarus Verilog, as well as recent versions of the old
chestnuts like PCB, ngspice, gerbv, GTKWave, and so on.  I also
updated pexpect, which controls the installation of system packages
(as root); I hope this cures some of the strange installation failures
observed occasionally on newer, faster machines.  I also modified the
install wizard to prevent users from using it while logged in as root
-- another common cause of problems.

I have tested this CD On FC1 and FC5.  I would be interested in
hearing experiences of other distro users.

Cheers,

Stuart
