1. The version of dircolors running on my Slackware box has a -z switch for zsh compatability. The Gentoo version does not. 2. Referring to manpages, and other DIR_COLORS files I have created in the past, I can not get dircolors with ls --color to work properly. Specifically, files with known extensions are not colored, while file types are. i.e. A directory, plain file, symbolic link are all colored as they should be, but .tgz, .gif, etc... are not. This problem is not repeatable on Slackware 8.0 where dircolors and ls --color behave as I would expect.
Updated dircolors with a patch from Slackware, along with the manpage. This version (still by the original author it seems), need /etc/DIR_COLORS, so added this with a version from mandrake (only one I had ;-)... colors seems to be the standard ones, so this should not be a problem
