Hi John!

Thank you for testing. Backups are always nice :)

I've added a section on the homepage to collect test results. I've also
worked on the tarball a bit, added changelog and deleted a few files so
it's "only" 189 megs now (59 megs in .gz to download). 

Plans for the future:

- as soon as someone tests it on other distributions and reports it
working, I will replace the old version of gEDA to hand-compiled new
ones and add all the tools from gerbv to gwave. 

- switch the chroot'd system from Debian stable to Debian testing to have 
newer libs.

- make the startup scripts more stable (more checks, handling special
cases)

- prepare a live cd version (shouldn't be hard as the live cd and the
chroot are independent)

Regards,

Igor2
