I suppose no one wants to ask how much of that 32Mb is shared by Video memory.
Your machine has either inadequate or defective memory for a full graphical install,
which
is why hdlists is truncated. The other explanation is that your newer CD drive reads
the
media well and the older one misses in the critical area of hdlists (and we have seen
exactly
this behavior on certain types of defective media).
