Color-ls is a separate program, Slackware must be the only distribution
that installs it _instead of normal ls. 
Minicom needs a command-line parameter (-c on I suspect), so does
midnight commander.  You may need to recompile mc, though: run 
"ldd mc" and see if you have all the libraries it needs installed.
Dunno about xtetris.

An interesting sig that I saw recently:
 "By US Code Title 47, Sec.227(a)(2)(B), a computer/modem/printer meet
the
  definition of a telephone fax machine.  By Sec.227(b)(1)(C), it is
unlawful
  to send any unsolicited advertisement to such equipment. By
Sec.227(b)(3)(C),
  a violation of the aforementioned Section is punishable by action to
recover
  actual monetary loss, or $500, whichever is greater, for each
violation."
