[SOLVED] /etc/locale.conf missing

Hello,

I managed to install Arch Linux by following ArchWiki's Installation guide. However, I was not able to configure the language nor the keyboard layout.

Following the steps described here, I...

1.uncommented my locale of choice (pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8) in /etc/locale-gen and
2. ran locale-gen ("Generation complete.").

But locale.conf and vconsole.conf are not in /etc, not even after rebooting. Also no hostname (covered in the next step, network configuration).

Can anyone shed a light here?

Thank you.

You have to create them...

Thanks a lot.

I was under the impression that it was locale-gen's job to create locale.conf.

Thanks for clearing that up.
