So please contact VMware to correct their incorrect recommended minimum
Yes, I'm considering that. I have to find out how.
The recommended minimum for openSUSE is 1GB of RAM

Below 1GB is just no where near enough for a default install using the graphical installer.
But it is not true. The graphical install does run fine, if you use the Full DVD. It is the NET install media which fails, probably because it has to download things into RAM or ramdisk, instead of pulling from local storage.
The DVD installer uses less RAM than the NET installer, that is to be expected. The NET installer has to load more stuff, like the network stack, download tools, so on and so forth, in order to be able to download from HTTP, or SMB, or NFS, or any of the other protocols supported by the NET installer. Hence, the openSUSE Hardware Recommendation for 1GB of RAM, which is sufficient regardless of which media a user chooses to install from, regardless which YaST interface they choose to use, and regardless of any other factors I can think of which might impact RAM use. I do not think your opinion is valid, because it would require undue complexity on something as simple as stating our minimum requirements. We don't want uses reading a book like this before they feel comfortable to install: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8350/8165469535_d2b8358e2a_b.jpg The minimum requirement for openSUSE is 1GB. Your report explicitally mentions running out of memory, the poor performance can be attributed to being out of memory. Give your VMs enough memory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
