Ah... yes, I read `man ls` and I have the 'auto' option on, actually I have this alias: alias ls='ls --color=auto -F -T 0'
instead of using the $LS_OPTIONS environment variable, which by the way was quite different in that old Slackware: --8bit --color=tty -F -T 0 so I _had_ to look at the man page. In the previous posting I was just ADDING to the previous quoted answer... but YOUR one-line essential color-settings is quite cool!
