What I did was to create an alias of "alias ls="ls -p --color" (you don't need the -p, but I like it:-) and stuck it into my ~/.bash_profile. If you don't like the default colors (I hated the dark blue for subdirectories) you can change it by setting and exporting the LS_COLORS environment variable in the same .bash_profile. For more info, do a "man ls" and/or see the docs in /usr/doc/fileutils/color-ls*. | Debian GNU/ __ o Regards, | / / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ . | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / Randy | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | ...because lockups are for convicts... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
