Although you're right, that's not the reason. In Mdk 7.2 *NO* servers are
installed automatically, unless you choose a "Server" installation.
To enable Write to FAT partitions:
addd to /etc/fstab an entry for your FAT line that is "umask=0".
This will then allow non-root users to write to FAT.

The best thing to do for security is to make su only executable by root.
Then get the "sudo" package and install it, giving only a few users the
ability to run "sudo su" and thus change to root.
This makes the telnet server more acceptable, and limits your exposure.
