SYSTEM SERVICES[[S]]
--------------------
-System services to be started at boot can be enabled using 'systemctl enable <name>.service'. 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 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 not if you use X.

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.,

-FILESYSTEMS[[F]]
-----------------
-Filesystems are configured in /etc/fstab, and encryption mappings are configured in /etc/crypttab.
+FILE SYSTEMS[[F]]

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".
+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/.
