Can't figure out how to use Windows ICS with Gentoo Linux

Hi Simon - Glad you are ready to make the jump away from the expensive, poorly constructed Windows World. Currently Linux is running roughly 5-10 years behind Apple's 10.4 Tiger. It's often been...
I can't help with ICS, I have no experience as I use a hardware firewall.
What is the value of i ($i) ? This is bash, not perl! Since initially all the variables are empty, $i=0 becomes =0, and since there is no command named =0, it...
Ah, simple one (one you run into it), lisa is not in root's path. Take a look at the user's path and see what's different. Add to root's path. Don't add . to the path of root!
A simplier method would be to simply do 'su' as the user (note the lack of a dash) and then type lisa. With 'su' you inherit the user's environment (path include). A better option, in my opinion is to use sudo lisa. This requires setting up sudo with sudovi (homework for the reader). A word of caution, I have no idea what lisa is and what it does. Be very cautious giving out permissions with su and sudo. The reason I prefer sudo for stuff is that when you 'su' you are in a shell as root. 1 mistake and poof, bad day (rm -rf * when in as an example). With sudo you have to type sudo before the command. You can still do bad things but it requires a little more effort and thought.
I hope that's helpful.
