Re: color in Xwindows
Try using `ls -G` for color output in ls. If that works, just put I tried it, still the same output, no color. Your shell may be doing its own ls. Try '/bin/ls -G'. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
