+NAME
+----
+parabola - basic configuration
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+Overview of the basic configuration of Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Parabola exposes the user to the system without hiding any details.
+This man page gives a brief overview of the configuration files that should be set up on a fresh install.
+
+SYSTEM SERVICES[[S]]
+--------------------
+System services to be started at boot can be enabled using 'systemctl enable <name>'.
+To view available services, use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
+
+HOSTNAME[[H]]
+-------------
+The hostname of the machine can be set using 'hostnamectl set-hostname <hostname>'.
+It will then be written to /etc/hostname.
+
+LOCALIZATION[[L]]
+-----------------
+Various locales may be enabled in /etc/locale.gen and are 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 per-user basis by keeping a user-specific 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 do not apply if you use X.
+
+TIME[[T]]
+---------
+The local time zone is configured by calling 'timedatectl set-timezone <Region/City>'.
+A relative *symlink* is then created from /etc/localtime to the correct zoneinfo file under /usr/share/zoneinfo/. For example,
+
+ /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 local time by calling 'timedatectl set-local-rtc <false|true>'.
+The default is UTC.
+
+FILE SYSTEMS[[F]]
+-----------------
+File systems are configured in /etc/fstab, and encryption mappings are configured in /etc/crypttab.
+
+INITRAMFS[[R]]
+--------------
+The initramfs is generated by 'mkinitcpio -p <preset>'.
+The default preset is "linux-libre".
+The initramfs can be configured in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and must be regenerated after making configuration changes.
+
+PACKAGE MANAGER[[P]]
+--------------------
+The package manager, pacman, is configured in /etc/pacman.conf.
+
+BOOT LOADER[[B]]
+----------------
+GRUB's configuration is generated from /etc/default/grub by 'grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'.
+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 automatically loading can be configured in /etc/modprobe.d/.
