I'm a beginner/idiot trying his best to his his way into linux.

I was making the attempt to do the same procedure as the individual bove. I created a FAT32 partition (hda10) on the server machine to save the ghosted image, ran knoppix on the client machine fine, and ran into the uname and password issue. Attempting to create a directory and set permissions for the partimag user generated the following:

root@ttyp1[home]# chown partimag /mnt/hda10/home
chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/hda10/home': Operation not permitted

I'm out of ideas since I've had ZERO experience with linux up until today, so if someone could help I'd really appreciate it...

Oh, I'm using the CD version of Knoppix on both machines btw. That's probably the source of my issue, but i can't see why.
