How to get a telnet client on to the xbox ?

Post by 2Cold4u »

Hi,

first of all hallo to all gentoox users. And also a big thank to shallax and all coders. You did a very great job to make Linux on Xbox simple as passible.
But I have a little problem because i am not a linux crack and i wanted to have a telnet client on the xbox, so that I can connect via Inet through ssh onto the xbox and then conect through telnet to my other devices in my home net (e.g. receiver, network power switch..).
So if any1 could help me, i would be very happy.


Please excuse my not really good english. I hope you understand me.

Cu

I also thought so, but the command telnet is not available. Here you see:

Home root # telnet
-bash: telnet: command not found

So i Think i need to install it first.

Thanks rocketeer for your tip, downloading and compiling work very well. Now I can use the telnet client, without any problems.
