I'll presume you restarted inetd after installing telnet, and that didn't
work. Do other network functions work? You're sure you're connected?
Second, if you've installed 7.0, might you have chosen a higher security
level? It's possible Mandrakesoft decided that at a "high" security
level, telnet should be disallowed. Or, you might have hosts.allow and
hosts.deny setup such that the machine you're at is not allowed access.

You can use "desktopcfg" to change your desktop environment.
