If you _read_ the output of 'info dircolors' you will see that you can give
it a file argument to change the ls output colors. You can also set
LS_COLORS directly. An example file is available if you run 'dircolors -p'
(as mentioned in the 'info dircolors' or 'dircolors --help' output).
Please keep this discussion on the list, I am not the sole source of all
wisdom.
