Karen, have you succeeded?
If not, see if your serving machine has netstat on it; netstat -a | less
(or maybe more) will show you what processes are listening; I suppose it's
possible you are not actually running inetd.
You do want to run only one version of the service though; you don't want
inetd and a standalone daemon fighting over the port.
I think you'll only need ftp or NFS server in order to net install. telnet
is gravy. But in fact if you can reach the outside world, and force the apt
package on, then you can use a good sources.list to do all your updates from
out there.
