Hey, it worked! Thanks guys. I now put that into my /etc/profile so it will do it on login for everyone. --- John Dennison - [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.xsquared.org --- On 6 Aug 1999, Chmouel Boudjnah wrote: > John Dennison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Didn't seem to work.

Re: [newbie] Re: [expert] Getting color output using ls --color
Didn't seem to work. When I issued that command it just showed me all the
settings in the .dir_colors file. And shouldn't I get that long string
back when I echo $LS_COLORS ? When I do that it is blank. This has really
got me stumped.

[expert] Getting color output using ls --color
Ok, I have Mandrake 5.3 installed from the CD-Roms. I can't seem to get
the ls --color option working COMPLETELY. Most of it works. I get the
green executables, the blue directories, and the aqua links, but none of
the other stuff works.
The things that seem to not be working are the things listed at the
bottom of the DIR_COLORS file, where you can specify file extensions and
them colored to your liking. Is there a known problem with this in
Mandrake 5.3?
At work we are running RH Linux with kernel version 2.0.35 and it works
fine when I'm logged in to those machines. I don't know what to do, I
don't understand what the problem is.
Any help is appreciated.
