Include the following line in either .Xresources or the system wide Xresources #include </usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color> Restart the server and if you were using xterm_color and haven't changed anything, your colors should be back. If not, remember to use eval `dircolors` alias ls='ls --color=auto' alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'; alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'; Hope this helps! Luis. P.S.: Mailing to you directly seems to produce a loop in Aachen. I am therefore sending this to the list. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
