Old netinst images generally do not work, since the packages they depend
on may be replaced at point releases. If you really want Debian 5.0
('lenny') then you should use the netinst image for the latest point
release, 5.0.9.
If you have no particular reason to favour Debian 5.0 then I would
recommend the current stable release, Debian 6.0 - more specifically the
point release, Debian 6.0.3.
