Hi all,

Does anyone know much about the 'groups' in PCB?

I have a 2 sided board. I placed a component on the 'far side' layer, 
which I'm expecting should be appearing on the 'bottom' gerber output. But 
no.

If I open bottom.gbr, it has the pads of my component (and other vias) but 
NO traces! If I open 'group1.gbr', it has the traces, but not the pads of 
the component. Does anyone know how to force everything to the 'bottom' 
layer?

I looked at http://wiki.geda-project.org/#community looking to join the 
IRC (I'm a bit new to IRC). And in Pidgin, I go to 'Add account', I cannot 
because I don't already have a user/pass, so I'm not sure where to enter 
the irc.oftc.net/6667 info. That web page doesn't mention anthing about a 
user/pass.

If I type in "/join #geda" in Pidgin, I see this: You have been kicked by 
ChanServ: (Invite only channel). It would be nice if there was a little 
more detail on how to get connected on the IRC...

I'm guessing I may have messed with some setting, but it's not clear at 
all how to recover.

Thanks for any tips!

-C
