If you want to eliminate the colouring all together, you can put this into ~/.bashrc: alias ll='ll --color=no' Next time you login, that alias for ll will become part of your environment. Of course, you can also source that file from your current login so that you don't have to logout/login to see the change: source ~/.bashrc Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 i686 GNU/Linux 20:09:56 up 14:09, 2 users, load average: 0.52, 0.22, 0.21
