I am running a variant of RH9.0

I would like to have read/write access to my /home/user directory and everything therein but even when 'Read Only' is unticked and mounted from the desktop it is locked.

If I go into the terminal as root and type:

chmod +r+w /user

I can get in but I only see /Desktop and nothing else (there are other directories in my /home directory).

What I am trying to do is share files between Knoppix and my installed Linux distro

Can anyone suggest another way to do this?
