-===== Configuration =====
-Configuring OpenRC is a simple task. Below are some steps to optimize the use of this initialization system.
-==== Boot logs ====
-Open the configuration file <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/etc/rc.conf</color>, and uncomment the reference line <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>rc_logger="YES"</color>.\\
-The log files for the entire **rc** process will be stored in <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/var/log/rc.log</color>.
-==== Hostname ====
-To add or edit a host name, edit or create the file <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/etc/conf.d/hostname</color> and add:
-<code bash>
-hostname="desired_name"
-</code>
-==== Keyboard ====
-To modify the key map for use in the **console**: edit the file <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/etc/conf.d/consolefont</color>. See the full list of all the options available under <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/</color>.
-<code bash>
-keymap="en_UK"
-</code>
-To configure the keyboard for use with a **graphical interface**, edit the file <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/etc/conf.d/keymaps</color>. Again, the full list of options is available under <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/</color>.
-<code bash>
-keymap="en_UK"
-</code>
-After editing the files, run the command:
-<code bash>
-# rc-service keymaps restart
-</code>
-==== Login manager ====
-**xorg-xdm**
-To enable the login manager, edit <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/etc/conf.d/xdm</color>.
-If that file does not already exist, then first make sure to install the package **xorg-xdm**:
-<code bash>
-pacman -S xorg-xdm
-</code>
-As an example, to use **slim** as the graphical login manager (//with the precondition to install the package **slim**//), replace with the line:
-<code bash>
-DISPLAYMANAGER="slim"
-</code>
-In order for changes to take effect, make sure to enable the xdm daemon, like so:
-<code bash>
-# rc-update add xdm default
-</code>
-**slim**
-The alternative would be to use **slim** direct. So first make sure to install the package **slim**:
-<code bash>
-pacman -S slim
-</code>
-You can add the service direct at the corresponding runlevel:
-<code bash>
-# rc-update add slim default
-</code>
-==== Kernel modules ====
-For the automatic loading of any module of the <color #0BB928/#DDFFE3>Kernel Linux-Libre</color> edit the file <color #0B71B9/#DDF1FF>/etc/conf.d/modules</color>.
-<code bash>
-modules="module_name"
-</code>
-This is only necessary after installation of an application or driver, made by the system administrator, by default all native modules of <color #0BB928/#DDFFE3>Kernel Linux-Libre</color> are loaded automatically.
