how to create a script ?

[sandwichs]

I was reading the help files (howto's) and it says "create a script".... how do I do that? and where should I type it? is it like a note pad file or is it just some typing in a directory?

You can create a "script" in any editor, be it joe, gedit, pico, vi, et cetera. As to what the code should look like, that depends on the language.

well.... I'm trying to "install" ipchains and masquerade.

okay so that's just a bash script. (most likely). that'd be like a batch file in windows. Just type in the commands you want processed in order, 1 command per line and save it. Then chmod +x the command and you're ready to go.
