I've been wondering how to do this, too... So I tried it, and it doesn't
work. It gives me an error message "ls: unrecognized option
'--color=auto'". Admittedly, I haven't gotten much installed past the
standard floppy installation; is there some dependency or later version of
ls that we need?

Thanks,
