Thanks. I looked for such options and found none. This motherboard (Intel
DH55HC) doesn't support RAID at all.

That did help! Thanks. I had been looking at another site
(archive.debian.org/debian/dists/) that only goes up to etch.
An install CD with 5.0.8 (as well as one with 6.0.0) did manage to find the
CD drive. Three seconds later, 5.0.8 (but not 6.0.0) failed to detect the
onboard NIC. I took the easy way out and added a NIC card, and the install
completed. Now I have a display problem. If I can't figure that out I'll
ask in a new thread.
Thanks to both of you for your help.
