Awhile ago I asked what the different colors under ls meant. I just came across an explanation at:
http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index.html The website is titled: Introduction to Linux A Hands on Guide by Machtelt Garrels I can find the answer to a lot of my newbie questions there. Below is what it said about the colors: On most Linux versions ls is aliased to color-ls by default. This feature allows to see the file type without using any options to ls. To achieve this, every file type has its own color. The standard scheme is in /etc/DIR_COLORS: Table 3-5. Color-ls default color scheme Color File type blue directories red compressed archives white text files pink images cyan links yellow devices green executables flashing red broken links I found the above website off Loads of Linux Links: http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links/index.html Seems to be a pretty good jumping off site for things Linux. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
