Hi,

The debian 5.0 has a tiny CD installation method, I downloaded these files

You don't need to compile, extract, add, create an iso, whatever...is not necessary as I and others stated before it's already done and you just need to download the 40MB iso or the 180MB iso in order to install Debian from the netinstall method and burn it to a CD that's the easy way.
 

cdrom/debian-cd_info.tar.gz     -- isolinux config files for CD
cdrom/initrd.gz                 -- initrd for use with isolinux to build a CD
cdrom/vmlinuz                   -- kernel for use with isolinux to build a CD

I guess you extracted those files from the iso you downloaded, am I right?
or where did you get those files?
AFAIK those files come inside the installation CD, DVD and those make the CD able to start Debian so, again there is no need to use them to create a CD which you can download from the debian site.


But I dont' know how to make a iso with these files, Do I need to
uncompress the debian-cd_info.tgz and how about initrd.gz, I 'm
guessing to specify vmlinuz as the boot file when making the iso, do
you have any guide to make this iso image?


see above
