Color directory listings has nothing to do with the OS you're running. It all depends on the "ls" program. FreeBSD has historically not had a color ls, and you had to install either the "colorls" or "linuxls" from ports. FreeBSD 4.1 and later versions now have an ls that can be told to print in color, though. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
