gEDA-user: How do I really design footprint with pcb?

[Hannu Vuolasaho <vuokko@xxxxxxx>]

   Hi!
   I got one module from my friend (his design) which has about 50
   connectors which can be then soldered to SMD pads. Usually I do this by
   starting from ready symbol and tweking it with emacs.
   Unfortunately this time it is too hard. The pads are all over the
   module with no real pattern.
   I started with background image and copied the footprint to PCB and
   I've been following this guide:
   http://ronja.twibright.com/guidelines/footprints.php
   Instruction number 5: Draw an alignment cross in the component
   reference point (usually the centroid). Use two rectangles placed on
   "unused" or "unused1" layer
   What? I don't have those layers. And is that cross some special thing?
   And is that guide up to date? I so promise that I will try to write
   better guide when I master this.
