NAME

||
|
|
archlinux - basic configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
Overview of the basic configuration of Arch Linux.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
Arch Linux 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. 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/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
