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/. + +SEE ALSO +-------- + +*systemctl*(1), *hostnamectl*(1), *hostname*(5), *locale.conf*(5), +*vconsole.conf*(5), *timedatectl*(1), *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), +*systemd*(1) + +AUTHORS +------- +Written by Tom Gundersen. +Rebranded for Parabola by Nicolás Reynolds and André Silva. |
