    Basically, don't. There are a few Linuxes around designed to run in Fat32, but Knoppix was never one of them.

    Knoppix supports three different types of partitions:
    ext2
    ext3
    reiserfs

    ext2 is kind of the traditional partition type for Linux.
    ext3 and reiserfs are both newer, and are journaling filesystems, which means much quicker startup times after an improper shutdown.

    I think that to get the option to use reiserfs you have to install using knx-hdinstall.

    Don't make them in windows, the only thing you need is some space on the HD (about 2.2GB or so). If you don't have that much you can shrink your FAT with Partition Magic (those that don't have PM can use QtParted in Knoppix instead)

    Partition Magic will create ext2/3 partitions at least it did a few years ago when I last used it. You have to resize your existing partition(s) down in size then create the new non-windows partitions and you tell it the type and size of the partition(s) to create then it tells you to reboot the machine and it completes the process.
