	Apps like pirut and the packagekit give me only a single choice, 
telnet or no telnet, without any indication of role; and rpm -q says "not 
installed." So I had supposed, absent any indication to the contrary, 
that it was a single package, comprising if not functioning as both a 
server and a client -- and nobody ever told me "Get rid of telnet 
server," but simply "Get rid of telnet." Also, if I plug the numbers in 
to "telnet 192.168.a.b 631" I get an error saying "command not found."

	If I try "yum install telnet-client" or "...telnet_client," or 
"...telnetclient," I get a message saying no such package is available.

	If I put a space between the words, as if telnet and client were 
two apps, it tells me client is not available, and offers to install 
telnet -- one unitary thing.

	How then can you get a client without a server? If I let yum 
install this one thing, is there then (only then) a way to split it and 
get rid of half? Remember I neither have nor am likely to acquire the 
savvy to handle electronic attacks.
