Quite right.  The OS is Linux, but it is contained in a squashfs archive 
that is not directly accessible There are a few config files and a small 
selection of systemd.  The best way to run it seems to be, to run it 
from a host OS. Instructions for Ubuntu are plentiful: if you are 
running something different, they don't want to know you.  I have the 
full Kodi running in Mageia in the same way, with an independent startup 
option in the login menu.

Raspbian, the preferred OS for the Pi, is based on Debian Jessie.  I 
downloaded the NOOBS software selection.  It includes Raspbian and 
LibreELEC, a basic setup with Kodi embedded, but the two seem quite 
independent.

Doug.
