Hi Tim,
what could 'ls --color=auto' be useful for other than being
neater for not having escape codes? The =auto output in my kdedit
and gedit editors is plain black print.
'ls --color' defaults as 'ls --color=always' so in xterm generally
the two options will work the same.
yes, ll='ls -la' is shorter, thanks.
Slackware's default install uses /etc/profile so I was putting things
in that perspective.
cheers,
Keith.
