Re: gEDA-user: single-sided boards

[Wojciech Kazubski <wk0@xxxxx>]

Single sided boards do not have plated holes, so pad diameter for pins must be 
greater, usually two to three times the drill size. Some footprints have very 
small pads which will be too weak if used for single sided board. If pins are 
arranged in rows then oval pads may be a solution.
