I plead guilty to that.  I did a screen scrape of an instruction
posted by another geda-user contributor (who shall remain anonymous)
and just stuck it onto the wiki.   

If somebody wants to take the time to clean up this instruction, I
would be forever grateful.  Otherwise, wait until the April Circuit
Cellar magazine comes out, and follow the instructions in there.  ;-)
