This is typically unnecessary as the eudev system will automatically load any modules required for the correct functioning of your hardware. However, some advanced use cases may require the loading of additional kernel modules. The /etc/conf.d/modules file defines the modules configuration variables. This is a space-delimited list of modules to load. For each module specified, an additional variable, module_MODNAME_args, is defined, where MODNAME is the name of the module. The module_MODNAME_args variable controls the arguments passed to the module. Refer to the documentation for each module for a list of arguments it supports.

Syntax @@ -311,4 +311,105 @@ The /etc/conf.d/urandom file defines a single configuration variable, urandom_seed, which specifies the path in which to save the random number seed when the system is shut down. The default is /var/lib/misc/random-seed. This variable must point to a path that is on the root filesystem; if /var is a separate filesystem, you must configure this variable to use a different path.

+ <filename>/etc/default/console-setup</filename>: Virtual terminal configuration +
+ Purpose + The /etc/default/console-setup file determines the configuration of the system virtual terminals or consoles. Note that this does not include graphical terminals run inside X11 (such as Konsole or XFCE Terminal). +
+
+ Syntax + Shell script style. Variables are in uppercase. +
+
+ External References + For more information, consult the official manual page for console-setup(5). This manual page is available in the console-setup-doc package. If your computer has an Internet connection, you may also read it on the Web. +
+
+
+ <filename>/etc/default/keyboard</filename>: Console keyboard configuration +
+ Purpose + The /etc/default/keyboard file determines the configuration of the keyboard on the system virtual terminals or consoles. This file does not control the configuration of the keyboard inside X11 or a desktop environment (such as KDE or LXQt). +
+
+ Syntax + Shell script style. Variables are in uppercase. +
+
+ Detailed Information + The /etc/default/keyboard file is used by the console-setup package (when the console-setup service is enabled) to configure the keyboard model and layout in use on the system's virtual terminals. The most important variables in the /etc/default/keyboard file are the XKBMODEL variable, which controls the model of keyboard, and the XKBLAYOUT variable, which controls the layout of the keyboard. + In order to use additional keyboard layouts, you must install the console-keymaps package. +
+

+
+ <filename class="directory">/etc/dracut.conf.d/</filename>: Early system initialisation configuration +
+ Purpose + The /etc/dracut.conf.d directory contains files that determine the configuration of dracut, the initial RAM disk generation system for the Adélie Linux system. The initial RAM disk is needed on some computers during system initialisation; tasks it may perform include enabling access to a disk, unlocking an encrypted partition, or establishing a network connection. +
+
+ Syntax + Shell script style. Variables are in lowercase. +
+
+ External Resources + For more information, consult the dracut.conf(5) manual page. This manual page is available in the dracut-doc package. +
+
+
+ <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>: Filesystem mount point configuration +
+ Purpose + The /etc/fstab file determines the mount points of file systems on the hard disk(s) connected to a system. It may also control whether or not users may mount removable storage devices such as CD-ROM devices, and where they may mount them. +
+
+ Syntax + The syntax for /etc/fstab is columnar in nature. There may be any amount of whitespace between columns; the following two lines will be viewed identically to the system: + + +/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1 +/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1 + + +
+
+ External Resources + For more information, consult the fstab(5) manual page. This manual page is available in the util-linux-doc package. +
+
+
+ <filename>/etc/hostname</filename>: Host name configuration +
+ Purpose + The /etc/hostname file determines the host name of the system. This is used in system prompts, and for identification on a network. +
+
+ Syntax + The host name must appear as the only content of this file. Any other contents are invalid. +
+
+ Detailed Information + The /etc/hostname is read during system initialisation. The system host name is set to the contents of this file. If the /etc/hostname file is missing or corrupt, the system will retain the kernel's default host name — with the default Adélie Linux kernel, this is "adelie". +
+
+
+ <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename>: Bash shell keyboard configuration +
+ Purpose + The /etc/inputrc file determines the behaviour of keyboard input and the system bell in programs that use the GNU readline library. The GNU readline library is not packaged for the Adélie Linux system; therefore, the only system packages that would use the configuration in this file are bash and gdb, which contain their own private copies of the GNU readline library. +
+
+ Syntax + The /etc/inputrc is declarative in nature; variables are set using the set command, and escape sequences are mapped to functions using the format: "<escape sequence>": function. +
+
+ External Resources + There are a few comments in the /etc/inputrc file. Since the GNU readline library is not packaged for the Adélie Linux system, it is not possible to read the manual page. +
