Does the ls in Busybox on the N900 support colorizing? It doesn't like it when I pass it the --color=auto option?

I don't know myself, but I found some interesting results entering "busybox color" into Google. I'd tell you more, but....

I did search here.
Then Googled as you did.
I used every busybox parameter I could find, thus why I mentioned LS not allowing the --color=auto option.

I tried it on my N900 and it doesn't work in Xterm. ls doesn't recognize --color(=auto) option, so I supposed that this functionality is compiled on the busybox

What version of busybox is it? (Probably just busybox --version)
The newer versions of busybox have it, it looks like it just has to be turned on it the config (then recompiled).
config FEATURE_LS_COLOR
bool "Allow use of color to identify file types"
default y
depends on LS && LONG_OPTS
help
This enables the --color option to ls.

Looks like there is a Patch for it, but I'm really not wanting a brick here!

Does anyone see any reason to recommend against installing bash?

It's in 1.10.2:
config FEATURE_LS_COLOR
bool "Allow use of color to identify file types"
default y
depends on LS && GETOPT_LONG
help
This enables the --color option to ls.
It's on by default, so I'm guessing they just disabled it?
I don't have the sdk installed yet, or an n900 yet for that matter, so I'm not sure how much effort it is to rebuild and install busybox. Most of the time reconfiguring it and cross compiling it on a SDK is pretty straight forward.
