I cannot write to my fat32 partition with knoppix and I am a newbie with linux. Could someone instruct me as to how I would go about doing that. Thanks.

You have to become root. To do this type sudo before any commands you type in the shell.

will this allow me to use KDE to write to the fat32 partition?

Do a few searches and look at the icons on your desktop. The context menu for each icon has some options- mount, change read/write mode, etc. It's all there you just have to look a little bit and as mattsbr suggested do it as root. If you have more questions post back and tell us what you've tried thus far.

Nevermind. Figured it out. Thanks!

That's not going to help anyone else. Perhaps you could be so kind as to post how you did it.
