On 29-Nov-98 Chip Rose. spluttered:
#  Can anyone give me a pointer to a Howto or FAQ so that I can get
#  colour in my
#  xterm/console?  I'd just like to do the basics with one colour for
#  files, and one
#  colour for directories.  I'll get fancy later on..  I read the Howto
#  listed
#  below, but couldn't seem to get things working.  I've got
#  fileutils-3.16-6 
#  installed on Redhat 5.0.

Add the following line to your .bashrc:

# alias ls='ls -F --color=tty'

(drop the initial '#' of course)

You'll have to log out & log back in for the change to take effect.
