Hi,
It is rather confusing. When I run gsch2pcb project I get:

----------------------------------
Done processing.  Work performed:
5 file elements and 0 m4 elements added to board.new.pcb.

Next steps:
1.  Run pcb on your file board.pcb.
2.  From within PCB, select "File -> Load layout data to paste buffer"
    and select board.new.pcb to load the new footprints into your existing
layout.
3.  From within PCB, select "File -> Load netlist file" and select
    board.net to load the updated netlist.

4.  From within PCB, enter

           :ExecuteFile(board.cmd)

    to update the pin names of all footprints.

First it does not tally with the description given in the tutorial - I am
using the one that comes with Ubuntu.

Second, when I run pcb board.pcb I get only the transistor and the resistor
on the screen with a yellow line leading nowhere. Should'nt I get both
one.sch and two.sch? If I folllow the instructions above I add the one.sch
to the screen all bundled up. Both one.sch and two.sch appear to be OK.

As I say, I am confused.
best ergards
