footprints are present in the library, if you have parts that need
custom footprints you can either design your own or download then.
www.gedasymbols.or= g has a variety of custom symbols and footprints on
it.

So my steps should be like :

1) Design schema= tics on gschem with footprint attribute.
2) Then import it to PCB and do= designing.

However as a new user to this application I get confused= point 1 : on how to make sure which footprint attribute to use. There shou= ld be a reference.

For example : I have added a Diode. Now how to decide upon the footprin= t attribute? 99% I have to get footprint from other web source and then poi= nt to that folder ?

Before this I used Protel 2004. I am slightly c= onfused on footprint part.
