Installation problem

I recently discovered ReactOS and I like it very, very much.  However, I am 
having installation problems from the "Install CD".  I thought it was a bad burn 
to CDR, so I made a second copy, but the same problem occurred.  I thought that 
ReactOS might have a problem with the hardware, so I tried a different computer 
but the same problem occurred.  The problem is that the installation halts 
around 36% when copying files.  When the installation stops, the screen looks 
like this:  http://www.reactos.org/media/screenshots/2005/tour/install_03.jpg

Then, I tried the LIVE CD and it worked very well.  I was very impressed and 
pleased with the LIVE CD so I'm very interested in getting the  INSTALL CD to 
work.  Did anyone report a "halting/freezing" problem with the installation?  
What are your thoughts? 
Thank you, 
Steve

It HAS, and SHOULD work with 32MB. Bug 702..704 or something, filed by 
Alex Ionescu.

Even 20 or 24MB should work fine (though 16MB should be a goal, IMHO, as 
many 486/586 had only 16MB, while 8MB isn't enough for sure)

Testing on VMware gives the limit in 4MB memory blocks. Testing under 
QEMU or Bochs can refine the actually needed amount.
