It contains a lot of goodies that are commented out, in particular: # enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases eval `dircolors -b` alias ls='ls --color=auto' If you uncomment the above two lines, and add a -F option to the ls alias, it will walk and talk similarly to how Mandrake's ls presumably does. Run 'alias ls' on your Mandrake box to determine exactly how they've aliased it if you want to make it identical. Naturally, you will need to log in and log out again (or close and open a fresh xterm, as the case may be). You may also wish to uncomment the lines in your .bash_profile that source the .bashrc if it exists. HTH Andrew
