[GLLUG] ls output

[Stanley C. Mortel]

Never mind.  Found the --color=never switch for ls.  A pain but it 
worked.  Also, a report of success on the XP box.  I was able to 
manually restore the thing to an earlier restore point through my ssh 
connection into the linux partition.  :-)  Thank you Ubuntu.
