I install many Xen domU systems with 256MB running CentOS 5.x. If you use text base installer, you should have no issues.

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 CentOS 5.2 (see the release notes).

I have CentOS5 on a dell d400 latitude with 700MHz p3 and 256MB RAM.I installed using graphical installer and http for packages. Anaconda switches on swap real early but it all works. Switching out the hd for an ssd was a huge boost in performance and battery time.
