is there an telnet client on the minimal install cd? I need it inorder to connect to the internet during install
if not, where can I find an bin to use and can I get an usb support in the install cd inorder to run it?
I rather not install from the full cd

DaggyStyle,
Tell us all the parts of your problem rather that parts of your perceived solution. There is no telnet on the minimal liveCD.
However, if we knew what you wanted to do, we may be able to suggest an alternative way to achieve the same goal.

my uni uses an authentication system that requires me to logon an firewall using an telnet client, enter my username and password. if it is right, I can access the internet
thats my problem.

DaggyStyle,
Does putting your user name and password in the proxy settings work ?
If not, I can build you a telnet for k6-2, P3, Athlon-XP or Sparc. The liveCD should understand usb-storage although you may need to do some manual modprobes. Let me know what arch you need telnet for. The P3 one will work on later systems. I also have a few P1 boxes around but they are not powered up, nor up to date.

Try this. I found it on Freshmeat about 4 years ago and it made me laugh  :
It actually works, but is a bit laggy and gets confused on anything exotic...
