Changing Settings

I downloaded knoppix a while ago and think this is awesome. I have windows on my computer and have been booting to a knoppix cd. The settings on the cd will not allow me to write to my hard drive for some reason, it will let me read though. My partitions are Fat32 btw.

I right clicked on one of the partitions on my desktop and tried to change the read write permissions. It allowed me to change them but I was still unabled to write to the disk.

Two simple questions
1. While in knoppix is there some way to change the settings so I can write to the disk?
2. How can i change the settings on the cd. Obviously i will need to make a new cd but where can I look for that?

A third question a bit off topic but I figured I would throw it in.
3. What would one need to do to make a cd that would load an OS other then Knoppix? like red hat, xp, or 98? I have a dvd burner and figured maybe I might need to burn it to a dvd for size reasons? Probably too advanced but wanted to know anyway.

Thanks in advance

it should work using the icons, but you might also mount them read/write try "man mount" for info about that, or google it, I dont know the exact command but it shouldnt be difficult...

for the second and third question, you want to make a remaster... check the forums for info about that, there is enough. but its quite difficult (at least if you know as much about linux as I do, and I guess you know less)
