I'm using KDE2 under Drake 7.2. When I do an 'ls' using the Konsole terminal window different kinds of files are shown in different colours. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Sure, put this in your .bashrc and .bash_profile:

alias ls='ls --color=none'

I tried that but it didn't work. Can you suggest anything else? Other than just using Eterm instead... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

Did you do a "source ~/.bashrc" or "source ~/.bash_profile" after you modified it?

Aha! So that's what I did wrong! I did reboot while I changed removable drives, but I didn't do the source thing. Cheers!
