you should have these lines in your kernel .config

CONFIG_INPUT_MISC=y
CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=y

I'll try to ask this question so that it makes sense.  I'm running 
Mandrake 9.1.  I've made a folder called "/home/everyone".  I have my 
daughter sharing an internet connection on my local network.  My router 
gives ip addresses when she starts her computer, (windows98) and it 
gives me an ip address when I start up, (Mandrake 9.1).  I'm trying to 
share the folder "/home/everyone" between  her and me.  Samba gives her 
access to Laura folder on my linux box and when she logs into my linux 
machine she can also access her folder.  I've changed the permissions on 
the /home/everyone folder to rwx with chmod.  When I reboot I loose the 
w permission on /home/everyone.  Otherwise everything works great.  
Anyone have some suggestions?  Thanks for your help.
Dave

info needed on atomic operations

Hi all,

I need some information on atomic operations.
Please provide me some information on how do I do the
following operations atomically(for iX86):
(1) set a charecter ( dst = src),
(2) compare and then set a charecter ( if (dst==X) 
dst = src;)

It would be great If you provide some references to
any good documents.

Thanks,
Srini

Dave -- DId you see my reply to your earlier query to the list? I didn't 
copy you individually, assuming you were subscribed, and I suppose I may 
have assumed wrong. This time I am cc'ing you.

In case you missed it before, I think it still applies to the revised 
version of your questions, so I quote it here. It applies to the slightly 
different trouble report you posted the first time, which is why a couple 
of the specifics may seem not to make sense given this variant in your 
reporting.

 Go through make menuconfig again, (or the kernel config you used) and make 
sure you have support compiled in (not as a module (M) ) to the kernel for 
both your hard drive controller and the filesystem you are mounting as your 
root fs. ex. if your root FS is reiserfs, its imperiive you compile in 
reiserfs support.

Debian network reconfigure

I've tried various things I can think of on a Debian system and 
searched the web a bit for information, but I'm still at a loss.  I've 
moved a Debian machine that was on a dhcp network to a network that uses 
static addressing.  I was hoping there is a way to rerun the network 
setup dialogue so that I can assign eth0 a static address and tell it where 
the gateway is.  Is there a way to rerun it?  If so, where and how?

Thanks, James

I don't know offhand, though it is a good goess that there is some 
"dpkg-reconfigure" command that will do what you want. The fact that this 
setup is part of a install makes it a bit complicated.

The easy solution, though, is to hand edit (using vi, emacs, or whatever 
text processor you like) the file /etc/network/interfaces to remove the 
DHCP assignment and replace it with a static address. A sample stanza for 
this (taken from one of my workstations) is:

         auto eth0
         # comment out next line to remove DHCP assignment
         #iface eth0 inet dhcp
         iface eth0 inet static
                         address 192.168.1.1
                         netmask 255.255.255.0
                         network 192.168.1.0
                         broadcast 192.168.1.255
                         gateway 192.168.1.86

All the networking setup program does is provide a front-end to editing 
this file.

I was trying to guess at just some such thing - dpkg-reconfigure
myguesshere - but my missed guesses were leading only to frustration.

Everyone,
  Thanks for the info on msec running Mandrake.  I changed the msec from 
normal to one leverl less secure.  Now it saves my changes.  It still 
doesn't make sense to me.  Why can't I have a secure system and still 
share files?  Anyway thanks for the help.
Dave
