This manpage gives a +brief overview of the configuration files that should be set up on a fresh install. + +INITSCRIPTS[[I]] +---------------- +The initscripts are configured in rc.conf. Here you configure what daemons to start on boot, what storage +technologies should be enabled and, optionally, a basic network setup. + +HOSTNAME[[H]] +------------- +The hostname of the machine should be set in /etc/hostname. Additionally, either /etc/hosts should be +configured accordingly, or nss-myhostname should be used. This is needed so the hostname can always +be resolved to the current machine, which is required by some programs. + +LOCALIZATION[[L]] +----------------- +Various locales may be enabled in /etc/locale.gen, and generated by locale-gen. The system-wide locale to be used +can be configured in /etc/locale.conf. These settings can be overridden on a par-user basis by keeping a +user-spcefic locale.conf in $HOME/.config/locale.conf. The user-specific file will take precedence if it exists. + +VIRTUAL CONSOLE[[V]] +-------------------- +The virtual console is configured in /etc/vconsole.conf. It allows you to set a font and a keyboard layout, among +other things. Note that these settings only apply to the console, and not if you use X. + +TIME[[T]] +--------- +The local timezone is configured by *symlinking* /etc/localtime to the correct zoneinfo file under +/usr/share/zoneinfo/. E.g., + + /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris + +The real-time clock, which keeps track of time when the computer is off, can be configured to either +be in UTC or in localtime in /etc/adjtime. The default is UTC. + +FILESYSTEMS[[F]] +---------------- +Filesystems are configured in /etc/fstab, and encryption mappings are configured in /etc/crypttab. + +INITRAMFS[[R]] +-------------- +The initramfs is generated by mkinitcpio, and can be configured in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. + +PACKAGE MANAGER[[P]] +-------------------- +The package manager, pacman, is configured in /etc/pacman.conf. + +BOOTLOADER[[B]] +--------------- +GRUB's configuration is generated from /etc/default/grub by grub-mkconfig. Syslinux is configured in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg + +MODULES[[M]] +------------ +Most modules should be loaded on-demand. Modules to be unconditionally loaded at boot can be specified in /etc/modules-load.d/, +and modules to be blacklisted from auto-loading can be configured in /etc/modprobe.d/. + +SEE ALSO +-------- + +rc.conf(5), hostname(5), hosts(5), nsswitch.conf(5), locale.conf(5), vconsole.conf(5), timezone(3), hwclock(8), fstab(5), crypttab(5), +mkinitcpio(8), pacman(8), pacman.conf(5), grub-mkconfig(8), syslinux(1), modules-load.d(5), modprobe.d(5) + +AUTHORS +------- +Written by Tom Gundersen. +Adapted for Parabola GNU/Linux-libre by André Silva. |
