We have ls with color (and no problem with serial console, there is no
color when using it). Why not a nice manual?

In fact there were some works on 9.0:

But it does not seem to work here on a fresh 9.0/RC1 (via ssh but ls
color works fine), does it work for you? 

Anyway thank you all for your replies.
