Is anyone following this thread anymore? Getting rid of the colors in ls was
easy - I just deleted /etc/profile.d/colorls.* If I wanted to it just for
myself, I could have added unalias ls (or something like that) to my .bashrc
file.
The problem is with the *MAN* pages - they come up in color, and the dark
blue and green are practically impossible to read. I imagine this is a matter
of fixing some X11 settings somewhere, but the question is "where?" In this
case, it looks like my xterminal window is adding the color, since man pages on
remote machines (other O/S's, too) are coming up in color, too. I think I could
edit /etc/termcap to make all ther terminal types monchrome, but that would be
a lot of work and would probably make *everything* black and white, including
menu-based programs like ntsysv or disk druid.
There's got be be an easy way to do this. Doesn't anyone at RH who know how
they are doing this read this list?
