[GRASSGUI] New user 6.1

[Sandra Goodrow]

I am a new user of GRASS 6.1. I have previously worked solely in ArcGIS. I
have not found a comprehensive manual that helps me to understand how to
start. I am not sure that I am interpreting "location" and "mapset"
properly and even if I can use the files I currently use in ArcView (I have
converted all to rasters) for a projection. My main error message is ".not
a valid mapset".



Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
first of all, please subscribe better to grass-user mailing list [1],
GRASSGUI is related to the *development* of Graphical User Interface.

There is great book from Markus Neteler and Helena Mitasova, which
describes whole GRASS in it's finest features [2]. But it might be
little bit expensive for you.

Than you can use little bit outdated, but still IMHO usable book from
GDF-Hannover. It'll help you to start with GRASS and to understand some
of it's basic concepts.

You can also look at GRASS wiki, where some topics are described as well
[3].

Basic raster or vector data management, analysis and other topics are
described in special manual pages [4].

I hope, this helps you to start with GRASS. Good luck

Jachym

P.S. GRASS 6.1 is rather old. I would suggest you, to install 6.2
instead (or later on, 6.3, which should be released soon).
