## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The following addresses various usage and configuration choices for mkinitcpio.
|
||||
|
||||
### Default and Fallback Images
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to have at least one default and one fallback version for kernels.
|
||||
After the initial generation of the kernel the configuration file can be found in the
|
||||
`/etc/mkinitcpio.d` directory.
|
||||
For the [`linux`-kernel](#stable-version-linux) it would contain `linux.preset` and for the
|
||||
[`linux-zen`-kernel](#zen-version-linux-zen) `linux-zen.preset`.
|
||||
Inside these preset files the following line manages the generation of a default or fallback image.
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that the options are separated only by a space.
|
||||
To just build a fallback image remove `'default'` or vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||

|

|

### Enable/Disable Compression
|
||||
|
||||
To save space on the boot partition the kernel images can be compressed.
|
||||
To enable compression activate it in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf` under `COMPRESSION=`.
|
||||
In the configuration file some compression algorithms are recommended.
|
||||
Additionally compression options can be set under `COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=`.

||||
An easily usable example for this is the following line.

COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=(-v -5 --long)
