RE: [SLE] new v9.2 is out
According to the web site 128 required, 256 recommended.
And anyone determined enough can get it running in 64.
Yes, the typical issue is that the installer is memory-hungry (particularly when resolving dependencies between the packages) so that running the install in low RAM takes ages (frenzied swapping) or fails altogether. But I have set up more than one system where I've borrowed extra RAM from another machine purely for the installation, then after the installation set the machine to boot to runlevel 3 and return it to 64MB or whatever. It may even be possible to creatively abuse the "install into directory" feature to set up a hard disk in advance, then put it into the low RAM machine and use the rescue disk to fix up the bootloader.
