You need to partition the hard drive before beginning the install and create a linux swap partition. YAST should be asking you where the swap partition is when it tells you that there is not enough memory.
I tried an install on a 150Mhz Pentium with 36 Meg ram and couldn't do it.

Is it trying to boot in the GUI mode? IIRC, there is a way to cause the SuSE installer to use a screen-based/CLI mode, w/ correspondingly lower hardware requirements. I think it involved either using boot floppies or the second CD to boot w/ initially. Not sure how to effect the same results using a DVD or a boot CD for the FTP install. Maybe someone else can pipe up if they have a way for doing it in that situation, as I might be needing that myself in the near future.
