Hiya Stan,
I also had this interesting problem when i tried installing RedHat...
I figured out that if you copy the DIR_COLORS program onto a disk then
once you've installed RedHat put it in the /bin directory and then in your
profile (/etc/profile) put the lines:

eval DIR_COLORS
alias ls="ls $LS_COLORS"

or something to that effect.... and you will get the pretty colours you
like... dont take my word for this... try it out....

cya around,
