You want to install Debian on a system which you do not have direct physical access to? Tricky, but not impossible. You'll probably want to have someone you can call to physically wrangle the system, and might be advised to pull to box, run the installation locally, then have it redeployed at the colo. I'd particularly advise this if you're think telnet is a protocol still worth using. Remote installation of Debian isn't a recommended or supported method. With luck and skill, a remote installation might be possible along the lines of a chroot jail method discussed on this list recently. Assuming you don't have a high level of technical skill, I'm going to leave my answer vague and recommend you pull the box and have the install done locally, unless you care to do the legwork to figure out what the chroot method would entail. -- Karsten M.
