[SOLVED]How can I make Kodi start on bootup?


I want to use Slackware arm on my pi as a media streamer with Kodi. How can I make Kodi start on bootup? I have arch linux arm on another sd card for the pi and it launches kodi after bootup without me having to manually log anyone in. How can I do this on Slackware 14.1?

Are you familiar with /etc/rc.d and rc scripts? Have a squiz here I'm not sure what would have to be different on a slack system but in Section 3 there is a script I'd name rc.kodi, put it on /etc/rc.d and chmod it +x. Other systms tend to complicate things and some or all of above Section 3 might be required for system, dunno, I've never layed with XBMC a.k.a Kodi.

Thanks for this, I also found something written up in the slackware docs, http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:multimedia:htpc I'll try out both and hopefully one of them work,thanks so much.
