Looks like a good time to bring up my proposed corrections from thread
"Changes to default profile".  I'd suggest:

Current (from below):
# Uncomment to use the terminal colours set in DIR_COLOR
# eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLOR`

Changed (works on my system when uncommented):
# Uncomment both lines below to use the terminal colours set in DIR_COLORS
# eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
# alias ls='ls --color=auto'

Reasons:
- file DIR_COLOR doesn't exist in /etc
- alias line seems to be necessary to make dircolors work (see
/etc/DIR_COLORS)
- 'Instruction' comment line changed to reflect changes

OK, proposed /etc/profile (.bashrc to follow later)
