Author Configuring command line boot console
Bob Erdmann

I just installed FC4, and changed the run level to 3 so as to boot to a
command line console rather than the Xwindows system. The problem I am
having is that in this mode directory names are displayed in dark blue
against the black background of my monitor which makes them just about
unreadable. Is there a configuration file I can edit to change the color
configuration for the command line console?

Thanks,

/Bob

I'm using the tcshell (I know, everyone else uses bash ...).
I believe both use ~/.dir_colors

My setting there is:
COLOR none

Not to mention the LS_COLORS environment variable ..

Check out all the files in your root (or other logon) directory. ls -al

Look over the files beginning with a '.'

The settings should be somewhere in there.

you can edit /etc/DIR_COLORS to suite your colorfull needs.

in your case: replace "DIR 00;34" with "DIR 00;37", you'll get white
text for directories.
