This guide will help you installing a minimal version of Debian 5 (lenny) from the
netinst cd image version, available, for example, here

Minimal means that only the least will be installed: just to allow the system to boot.
No graphic interface will be installed nor any service.
The hard disk drive of the pc should be empty: without any other operating system and
without partitions.

proceed with caution because it’s possible to loose the whole hard disk drive data.
Burn the ISO cd image and boot the target PC with it.
You should see the “Installer boot menu”:
