ls display linux style, revisited!!!

hi all,

ive downloaded ,built and installed coreutils from sunfreeware.com,in my quest to get the color display when ls is used(linux style)...
After the pkg is installed,how do i use ls to get the color?
I know its installed because i get a host of cmds that have been updated,l
like this,

make install in touch
make install in rm
make install in rmdir
make install in ls
.....
'install is up to date'

how do i proceed now?

thanks

Im using fileutils package for displaying colors with ls command.
But you must replase original ls command with gls using aliases:

alias ls='gls -F --color=auto'
alias l.='gls -d .* --color=auto'
alias ll='gls -l --color=auto'

Also you have to add new $PATH location be cause the binary directory is usually here "/opt/csw/bin" if use pkg-get of course Smilie
That's all Smilie
