Firstly, I'm having some difficulties with my Panasonic [SBPCD] CD-ROM in that
it works fine for audio CD playing, as well as for reading directories of data
CD's, but get errors trying to access any of the files on them. This same drive
has worked flawlessly for the last few years, well, until now...
Does this seem to indicate a hardware or software problem?
Secondly, I just noticed a curiosity WRT bash. I've got ls set up to colourize
it's output, but being in a hurry managed to type '\ls' which gave an
uncolourized listing of files. Now I know I should know why this happens but
its baffled me for the last two days. Anyone got any ideas? [PS: I've defined
an alias as "alias ls='ls --color=yes -aF'" to get the colourization working, if
it makes any difference.]
