Type "alias", you probably see one like this: alias ls='ls --color=tty' If you remove that one, coloring is not used (see "man alias"). Try typing 'ls' (include the single quotes this time) :) It's probably defined in the /etc/bashrc file, or whatever shell you are using (grep in your /etc directory). JeeBee.
