Nope, the update CDs only cover ugrades within one stable release. The
5.0.1 updates just contain the differences between 5.0.0 and 5.0.1. If
you want to update from 4.0rX to 5.0.X then you'll need much more than
that. See
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#update-cd
for more details.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
