Hi John,

I'm new to gEDA but find that creating new symbols and footprints is 
very easy.
I just start with an existing part and modify it.

As for Libraries, I stopped using them in expresspcb.
In gEDA, I am creating my own custom libs for both .sym and .fb items.

Since I'm new to this gEDA stuff, I think I will store all my .SYM and 
.FB items in the cloud
at http://kitsandparts.com/geda for others to use as they wish. (just 
getting started)
