I have just installed CentOS 5.6 from disk and updated it.
1. I would like to use telnet on my local network. How do I activate it?
2. How do I install Mercurial? it is not in the repository.
3. How do I install eclipse? It is also not in the repository.
Thanks, John

man telnet if it's not installed: man yum if you want the telnet server: man yum

it's in rpmforge/repoforge

I know you say local network but really get out of the habit of using telnet. SSH is just as simple to use. The only reason for telnet nowadays is to support older terminal emulation software.

You. Should. Not. Use. Telnet. except for *very* particular debugging work. Use ssh. In face, if you're working at anywhere but home, I'd be *very* surprised if your employer allows telnet for any real use. Use ssh. Telnet is from when the 'Net was a kinder, gentler place, and transfers things like username and password in plain text, meaning someone sniffing your network can read it.
How do I install Mercurial? it is not in the repository.

As someone else noted, the std. package manager for CentOS is yum. man yum, but as an example: yum install mercurial<enter>

I got Eclipse. I have some older devices that won't work with ssh. Maybe I'll try upgrading their firmware, but meanwhile, I do need to use them.

The telnet client is generally useful to have, even if just for testing connectivity for various ports and protocols. It is rare to need to run a telnet server these days. They are in separate packages, so only install telnet-server if you need to originate connections from those other devices.
