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 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.

TIME[[T]]
---------
-The local timezone is configured by calling 'timedatectl set-timezone <Region/City>'. A *symlink* is then created
-from /etc/localtime to the correct zoneinfo file under /usr/share/zoneinfo/. E.g.,
+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,

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 by calling 'timedatectl set-local-rtc <false|true>'. The default is UTC.

INITRAMFS[[R]]
--------------
-The initramfs is generated by mkinitcpio, and can be configured in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
+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.
-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/.
