CentOS 5 requires 512MB for installation
I had an EL5 install attempt fail on a VM with 512 MB of RAM. Big ugly anaconda Python stack dump type error. Upped the RAM for the VM, and it installed.
You need a combined(!) 768MB of RAM and Swap to successfully install
That's certainly the problem, thanks. I don't use swap on VMs, for fairly obvious reasons.
I guess I could use file-based swap, so it's easy to turn off and recover the space after the install finishes. My VMs really don't need more than 512 MB of RAM when running.
