HOW-TO talk:Install XBMC for Linux on Arch Linux

-Syu, not -Sy
Hello XBMC wikians. :)

Please be aware that Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution, and because of the way our package management works, partial upgrades are unsupported. Thus, pacman/yaourt -Sy should be avoided in favor of -Syu in either case, as discussed on our wiki at the link above.

dbus-launch?
While I'm still here:

In the last section where it talks about automounting disks, the command given is

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch xbmc-standalone

but this is after recommending adding dbus to the daemons array (thus autostarting it) in rc.conf. I don't believe both are necessary, but I'm not sure, so I haven't made a change. Does adding dbus-launch here do something that's not accomplished by adding dbus to the daemons array?

Link to Arch Wiki
Archlinux has a proud tradition to maintain an excellent wiki on various subjects.

Chance has it that XBMC is well covered there. It would be foolish to keep two seperate conflicting wiki pages...
