With these requirements you may choose a distro that has the geda tools in its regular repository. All the subtilities that make a generic install from the original source a time consuming experience have already been resolved by the maintainer. Thus, a geda install is as little hassle as any other utility the distro distributes. Debian may be a candidate. Choose "testing/etch" and do an install from the net. No need to download and burn DVDs with stuff you likely will never install anyway. It is in frozen state and will be declared "stable" soon. Also, due to copyright headiness of the Mozilla foundation firefox was renamed to "iceweasel" in debian. I read in he other posts that fedora includes geda, too. Any other major distro? ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
