I can help with a this one:

color-ls must be set up to work.  The command "eval `dircolors`" will
enable it.  Read /usr/doc/color-ls/color-ls.README and/or man color-ls
and dircolors.

It is left to the system administrator whether to enable color-ls as the
system-wide default.  I just put enable it from my personal .cshrc file.


Luck.  Syrus.
