Hi!
If I plug a usb cd-rom drive or hard drive or usb key to the Receptor, how can I access it from the Receptor itself?
For example: would it appear in the Kontakt browser, so that I could load sounds from it?

Supposing that it is recognised by your Receptor, which is not a dead certainty (they're working on better USB support), then it's a simple matter of making the USB device appear and allocating a drive letter to the USB device in RedHat.
I don't know whether there is automounting already set up. If it is, then the drive will appear in c/usbdrive.
Then, you need to log as root in your Receptor and enter:
# cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
# ln -s /c/usbdrive x:
where x is the letter you want to give it.
Finally, enter:
# mkdir /c/usbdrive
to see the content.
As I said earlier, your mileage may vary. I have one USB CD and it has never worked with Receptor. Yet, others may do so.

Wow... that sounds very complicated!
"logging as root" in the Receptor... what does it mean and how do we do that.
I thought we just had to plug the usb device into the usb socket and that was it... we're quite far from the manual, when it says "usb ports to connect external devices such as hard drives, ..."

Read oGG's FAQ, and brush up on your RedHat commands !
Unfortunately, plugging a USB device is a bit hit and miss right now. My USB CD doesn't work with my Receptor. I know this is something Muse is working on, I mean improving USB support.

BTW, the procedure I gave you is that to follow IF your CD is not recognized by Receptor. If it is (i.e. automounting is on and the drive is recognized), then you'll see a folder usbdrive with Windows Explorer.
