so do i sharpe on a piece of photo paper with my tracks and then iron on to the copper.............or do i just sharpie onto the copper clad than use the ferrous choride

i have a dot matrix
will regular sharpie work on copper clad then i could use ferrous choride
Yes, I have made a few boards like this before, it works okay.
The ink from the sharpie keep the etchant away from the copper. The exposed copper is etched away. Just draw the pads and traces with the sharpie then etch.dont i have to do it backwords the more i think about it i think the sharpie would have to have the circuit in reverse

I feel that the ink when tried to print on transparencies will creap and would not remain where it t was injected by Inkjet printer.So reading this thread, am I right in thinking it's possible to use an inkjet to print onto transparencies for UV PCB exposure?

Yes, with through-hole components (that is, the components are on the side opposite the copper) you should print the mirror image and copy that. If none of your components has more than 3 leads (3 leads in a plane; if staggered, you will need to bend them or do the mirror image), you can probably get by without printing the mirror image. The board may look reversed to you from the component side, but should still work.

i dono i have seen other ones besides eagle
i can find the free version i have a like 5 day trail
I don't think you'll find better than Eagle for free. Just download the free version; there is no time limit. The only limits are that you only get 2 layers (not a problem for most home hobbyists) and a limited board size.
The interface is a bit weird but you'll get used to it.

are there common parts(ei. LEDs common ICs transistors)
i am at school right now so i will have to wait
