Hi Christopher,

By default, telnetd is not installed. You have to do it with apt-get
install telnetd

The point is during the install, you should have been asked to give some
info in order to download automatically the packages via apt-get.

If the command is not working, go into /etc/apt and add the following
line to sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main

And if you have a proxy, do not forget to create apt.conf file
containing this line:
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://your.proxy.fqdn:port/";

Good luck, Thomas.

The telnetd package is available for installation on hppa from any Debian
mirror.  I can't comment on why it was or was not included in the CD image,
but I can tell you that I don't allow telnetd's on machines I personally
administer because of the various security issues.  I strongly prefer ssh...
