I apologize for posting this on the expret list, but I posted it to the newbie list a couple of days ago and never received an answer. Hopefully somebody here can help out... here is the original message posted to the newbie list:
First of all, I'm new to the list. I had been running Mandrake 7.1 for a few years, and just this weekend went ahead an upgraded to 8.1. Even though I've been running the Linux for a few years, I rarely used it. I originally had it set up as a router and firewall for my internal network, and so for the most part it just sat over in the corner. I've recently moved everything to a LinkSys router, and no longer need the firewall or routing capabilities of this machine. Instead of wasting the machine, I figured I'd tackle learning some of this Linux stuff, and that brings me here. Todays question is dumb, it's not a very technical questions at all, just something of a pet peeve. In my console, running in Mode 0x0122 (set in lilo.conf), when I do a ls listing, the blue has this irritating line over it. I've gone into DIR_COLORS and tried changing the values there, but no matter, where-ever blue text falls, there's this line over it. For the time being I've removed all the references to blue, and have changed them to other colors, but I'd like to use the blue for some other console things. How do I get rid of that line? It's not there if I run in regular 80x25 mode, but then everything is just so gosh durned big... thanx...
