3.3. Additional Resources
This chapter outlines some of the files and directories found in the /etc/sysconfig/ directory, their function, and their contents. The information in this chapter is not intended to be complete, as many of these files have a variety of options that are only used in very specific or rare circumstances.

Note

The actual content of your /etc/sysconfig/ directory depends on the programs you have installed on your machine. To find the name of the package the configuration file belongs to, type the following at a shell prompt as root:
yum provides /etc/sysconfig/file_name
For more information on how to install new packages in Fedora 20, refer to the Fedora System Administrator's Guide.
