The Archive:Install Kodi 17.x (Krypton) on Fedora 26 Using RPMFusion Packages guide presents an approach to turning a minimal installation of Fedora 26 into a standalone Kodi 17.x (Krypton) installation, with minimal additional software / overhead. The Kodi packages available from RPMFusion are used as the basis for this setup.

The guide shows how to install pre-built packages from RPMFusion (which do not support DVD playback). Alternatively, it also shows how to rebuild Kodi from RPMFusion source with DVD-playback capability enabled.

At the end of this guide you will have a set-top box style of system that, when powered up, will quickly boot and then start Kodi automatically without intervention (e.g. no need to first log in).
