BusyBox, by default in the gumstix configuration, is configured to
have ls display color. You can change this option in the BusyBox
config:

CONFIG_FEATURE_LS_COLOR=3Dy

I think you can just edit gumstix-buildarm/sources/busybox.config and
do another make.

The color output appears to be hardcoded, and seems to be designed for
terminals with a black background.

Issuing a clear command after an ls will make the whole screen black.

Changing your terminal emulation to be vt100 (File->Properties on the
Settings tab)  will cause the background to remain white and what was
colorized to become gray. If your background has been switched to
black, then you'll need to restart HyperTerminal.
