Hello,
I'm a Linux newbie and wanted to understand the boot sequence of the XBMC Live installation.
I think that GRUB boots up with root permissions and starts up the Ubuntu OS, then it autostarts a script in the xbmc users folder somewhere (which loads the xbmc-standalone executable).
I wish to understand what is executed after the grub section as I wish to change the startup parameters of XBMC. I also don't like to be in the dark with the OSs that I use. I did some searching online but it just referenced the "/etc/rc.local" file is executed (which doesn't seem to do anything in my case (just exit 0).
Thanks,
Takapa
