Not to belittle you at all, but that's a really BAD idea. When you chmod 777 you give read, write, and execute permission to EVERYONE. The only files i can think of that should be 777 are symlinks and a couple subdirectories in /var (tmp and mail/you...maybe one or two others).
Rather than looking at file permissions as being the problem, i'd look instead at what you're trying to do, and what user you are....many things are just not intended to be done as a regular user. Unless there is a problem you caused yourself (such as copying files from a fat drive or doing a shoddy remaster), most files in the DSL base system are correctly chmodded already.
