these files are downloaded from Debian tiny CD cdrom folder here , http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/
The instruction from this page http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst, where also tell me that I should write them into the media. Copied to here, "Tiny CDs, floppy disks, USB sticks, etc You can download a couple of image files the size of a floppy disk or another removable media of similar small size, write them to the media, and then start the installation by booting from that." I know we could try the small CD aprox 180MB or 40MB, but this tiny CD is very cool, which size is even smaller than the two, but lack of doc, I don't know how to write these files into media - my CD-disk.
