+===== Customizing location of footprints =====
+<code>
+$ echo "lib-newlib = /home/dambi/projects/gaf/pcb-footprints" > ~/.pcb/settings
+</code>
+Since that setting has effect of replacing standard location of footprint library with the custom one, it is necessary to make footprints from standard library accessible in some way. To address that, symlinks from custom location to standard one were created for desired footprints, e.g.:
+<code>
+$ cd ~/projects/gaf/pcb-footprints/
+$ ls -l 0805.fp
+lrwxrwxrwx   1 dambi    dambi         47 Jul 18 11:37 0805.fp -> /usr/local/share/pcb/pcblib-newlib/geda/0805.fp
