I'm trying to edit a few system files but don't have permission to overwrite them - can someone tell me how to log in with full access (read/write) to the system files?

try typing "su" in konsole
You would also probably have to change your HD read/write status by right-clicking on it and choosing that option

From the Start->Knoppix menu, click on Root Console.

It's all in the documentation (http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqUsing) for your reading pleasure.

Alternatively, the user "knoppix" has sudo permission.
In other words, preface your editing command with "sudo"
I.E. sudo vi {filename}
That should also work.
