Hi friends, As above, I don't know if this is a dumb question, but here goes anyway. On my embedded target (ARM9), when I print full listings, I get color print-out (ie. different file extensions are different color etc) when I SSH into my host PC (Ubuntu 10.04) and request ls -al. However, when I 'ls -al' on my target itself I get a single color only. The bizarre thing is that at some stage, a while ago, I *did* get LOCAL color printout on my target, but I can't recall for the life of me whether that was due to a setting in my Kernel or my rootfs. I use putty for terminal and ANSI color etc is enabled. Whenh I run Links2.0 on my embedded target and enable color in Terminal settings I get full color dump on putty when I eg. bring up google.com etc... Can anyone give a hint where the target's ability to produce color in "ls -al" is supposed to come from ? I've Sherlock Holmed several times through the Kernel, rootf (Buildroot) and packages (Busybox) settings and can't find it for the life of me. Any and all advice very welcome !!!
