Hi Glen,
Apparently I cant use PCB, but have to use PCB-GTK. When I do I get:
From http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:pcb-quick_reference:
Alt+S sizehole increase the hole of the object under the cursor
Alt+Shift+S sizehole (-) decrease the hole of the object under the cursor
Ctrl+S sizehole increase the hole of the object under the cursor
Ctrl+Shift+S sizehole (-) decrease the hole size
Alt+s gives me Settings, Ctl+s gives me nothing
:ChangeSize(SelectedPins,+1,mm) gives me nothing
There a lots of tutorials, but is'nt there an authoritative manual for geda?

<p>Torben:</p>
<p>You should not have to use <i><b>sudo</b></i>
<i><b>(SuperUser DO) </b></i>as this
elevates you from your user level (torben)
to root user. <br>
</p>
<p>This may be causing issues where you are
saving files as user <i><b>torben</b></i>,
but when you become root, root's directory
may be checked for the file.</p>
<p>sudo is a dangerous tool and is meant to be
used for specific uses such as installing
software.?? Using it excessively can cause a
typo to have catastrophic consequences.??
When your computer is configured correctly
you should be able to run <i><b>gschem</b></i>
or <i><b>pcb</b></i> (etc.) with your own
user (torben) level privileges.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.<br>
