Re: gEDA-user: adding footprints attribute to schematics symbols

[Stuart Brorson <sdb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello --

Congratulations on your first electronics project!  I suppose it can
seem kind of confusing when you start your first design, but once
you've been through it a couple of times, it's really very easy.

Since you have so many questions, I suggest that you take a look at
the tutorials available from this link:

http://www.geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:gschem_ug#introduction

In particular, the stuff written by Bill Wilson provides an excellent
introduction to design using gEDA, and will answer some of your
questions.  Also, the Cambridge University tutorial is very good.  It
was written by a student who was also an electronics beginner, so he
may understand your questions, and will answer them in a way you like.

You may also find useful information by looking around our wiki,
which you can access via the above link.

Have fun with your new design!

Stuart
