ok but the problem is i did'nt upgrade the fileutils!..
yesterday i recompiled the kernel rebooted then bang no more colors..
so to be abble to see them again i had to go in /etc/profile and modify
the line eval `dircolors -b` from this to eval `dircolors -b
/etc/DIR_COLORS` then it started to work back again.
i was just wundering why this change and at the moment i did'nt what to do
to fix it..
