#Arch Linux on Raspberry Pi: RPi as xbmc station#

Let's start from creating xbmc user:

useradd -m -s /bin/bash xbmc

Install necessary packages:

pacman -Syu xorg xorg-xinit xbmc slim

Create .xinitrc file as xbmc user:

su xbmc
echo "exec xbmc" > ~/.xinitrc

Configure SLiM:

nano -c /etc/slim.conf

Set such settings on these lines:

69: default_user  xbmc
77: auto_login    yes

Enable slim service:

systemctl enable slim

After reboot, you should see xbmc screen.
