The installation program runs from a RAMdisk when you have 64MB or more 
of memory. If you have less, as you do, the installation program must run
directly from the CD. Running from the CD means the CD cannot be unmounted
until the end of the installation. Under that circumstance, it _can't_
ask for the other CDs.
