The ls that comes w/ Debian supports colors. However it is off by default (do not ask why). You need to add a line to /etc/profile that says "alias ls="ls --color=auto". This wll make ls give colored output. You can also put that line in your own .bash_profile -- putting it in /etc/profile makes it work for ALL users. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe debian-user-request@lists.debian.org < /dev/null
