Ok,

This whole process of adding footprints is a real pain, and really
shouldn't be that much effort involved to add a few or many symbols.

First, how do I change the directory scan depth level?

Second, there seems to be poor linking between PCB and gEDA schematic.
I have used the gsch2pcb and specified some level of foot prints.

Is there a way, in order NOT to have both PCB and schematic open at the
same time while drawing the schematic to enter in the component netlist
and footprint into schematic?

I've noticed that even after I enter all the necessary component data
into sch, when using gsch2pcb, many of the components still do not
populate on the PCB
