3. Install XBMC using Packages

A much simpler approach to installing XBMC 10.1 on a Slackware 13.1 x86 based HTPC is via the use of pre-compiled binary versions of the required libraries and/or applications, also known as Slackware packages.
The packages under discussion are shown below:

All that is required to perform the installation at this point is download the files mentioned above in a single folder (i.e /usr/local) of the soon-to-be Slackware HTPC and issue the following command

DarkStar:/usr/local#installpkg *.tgz

** In case the file extension of the package names has been altered to .gz or .gtar from .tgz by the browser during download rename them first as shown bellow and then try again the previous command

DarkStar:/usr/local#mv mypackagename-i686-1km.gz mypackagename-686-1km.tgz

NOTE: You will still need to download the latest NVidia Linux x86/IA32 driver from here and install it according to the instructions on chapter 2.2.
