hi, I want to be a bit more specific (or anal!), I wanted to make it global. Upon reviewing the /etc/bashrc, it contains:
alias 'ls = ls --color=auto' but it also contains: source /etc/profile.d/tinker-term.sh which in turn contains: export TERM=xterm-color If I type "export" it displays: TERM=linux #(as mentioned by Matt) I created a .bashrc and put: export TERM=xterm-color into it, when I startx ls gives no colour but mc is now blue which is halfway there. I then added: alias ls='ls --color=auto' Now everything is in colour. Why does /etc/bashrc, in conjunction with /etc/profile.d/tinker-term.sh, not do this for me? I can't see the relationship between the worms and the spice! -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
