Installing Raspbmc

Back Up Configuration/settings
- Login to the pi and, from the /home/pi/ dir, type:
tar -czf backup.tar.gz .xbmc/
- Transfer that file to a secondary machine (ftp, sftp, or scp are all viable options)
Put back the backup on the system:
- Return the tar file you copied in step 2 to the Raspberry Pi
- Run the following commands:
sudo initctl stop xbmc; tar -xzf backup.tar.gz; rm backup.tar.gz; sudo initctl start xbmc
