+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 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
+
+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.conf
+
+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/.
