RE: Cisco colour icons for Dia

[Ian Redfern <redferni logica com>]

They are intended to replace the black and white versions - that's why I've kept the names the same. If people wanted them in another namespace (Cisco colour, perhaps) I could do that.

I install them on on my box by:

# chmod 000 /usr/share/dia/shapes/Cisco
# chmod 000 /usr/share/dia/sheets/cisco*
$ cd ~/.dia
$ tar xfz cisco-colour-1.0.tar.gz

If you want to overwrite your existing versions, you need to move the shapes into /usr/share/dia/shapes/Cisco and the sheets into /usr/share/dia/sheets - I suggest you only do that after you are happy with them.

[The above is on a Debian system - your pathnames may be different, but the principle should be the same]

There are a number of new ones, including several more buildings, disk and tape arrays, iSCSI, many optical fibre and wireless icons, and some icons in multiple colours.
