Guys! I think the fellow is looking for a procedure as to how he _should_ do this! So, why don't we give some ideas? Syrus, you might consider packaging it to put itself in /usr/bin as colour-ls, with a manpage colour-ls.1, and asking the fileutils person to stuck something in the ls.1 manpage about it. Or your could ask to have your colour-ls become the ls binary, with a postinst that asks whether or not colour should be enabled for the system by default, etc. Good Luck, Jim
