how to get color ls display?

[lgunman@crh1828.urh.uiuc.edu (the lone gunman)]

Hello:

I recently installed Debian 1.3.1 that I purchased from Linux System
Labs.  I have had several problems, and cannot seem to find the
answers.

Getting color with ls!  I copied my /etc/DIR_COLORS from my old
slackware system to my new Debian system.  In my /etc/profile, I have
"dircolors -b" run, and then I alias ls="ls --color=auto".

Now, if I un-alias ls (that is, only dircolors is run), then NOTHING
is in color.  But with the alias, regardless of what I do with
dircolors, I get my lists in color, but not the custom colors I've
defined in /etc/DIR_COLORS.

What gives?

Thanks.
