Is KiCad supported in Red Hat Linux 9? It seems that RH cannot read the
untarred files.

cannot read I doubt this is a problem with RH9. More likely a
prolem with the file you have. Could you cut and paste the commands

They drill the board, run it through an electrode-less process that leaves a
VERY THIN layer of copper in the hole. Then they electroplate the entire
board with thicker copper which builds up a thicker layer of copper.
This way ALL holes are plated through. If you need holes which ARE NOT
plated

Why does the copper only plate out inside the holes and not on the
board's edges or on the face of the board?

Hi,
A way to avoid the effect of a plated-through hole is to make the module with
a thin cooper ring as a pad in all layers. Then, place the holes before
making any zones. When you trace the zones, you will get a hole being an
island in your pcb. All layers of the hole will be connected among

At that point there is copper foil on both sides, and the board is still
part of a larger panel. Later in the process the board is cut, or routed
from the panel.

When the board come out of the plating process there is copper all over the
surfaces and edges. It is one big copper coated piece at that point.
Later it is etched and trimmed off.

In order to place mounting holes with Kicad, you have to add a
specific component in PCB called 1PIN. That component is a large pad
and its defauls configuration is for M3 screws but you can edit it as
you like. You can make the hole of the pad just as big as the pad so
it won't appear as a
