With 1 GB RAM everything runs fine. Don't know, what they do with more than 512 MB RAM on a text only system during installation ...
Interestingly: I just looked up FreeBSD 64 bit (amd64 they call what Linux calls x86_64) installation requirements: you need at least 64 MB of RAM for installation ;-) Of course, you will need _much_ more just to run Xwindow system on that box...
Somehow it comes to my mind what someone called M$ Windows somewhere around Windows XP: "bloated pig" ;-)
Could switch to a different console and bounce on top, if you're interested.
512MB seems really small these days, so I'm guessing you're using this as a small appliance box like a NAT router. Is there a reason you prefer CentOS over a distro targeted to your application? If it's a NAT router, for example, there are a bunch of slim-profile distros which are designed specifically for NAT routing on a small system.
