Memory Requirements

Different installation methods have different memory requirements during installation.
After installation is completed, the system administrator may reduce memory to the
desired size. SUSE recommends using:
768 MB
1 GB
NOTE: Memory Requirements with Remote Installation Sources
For installation from NFS, FTP, or SMB installation sources or whenever VNC
is used, 512MB of memory is required as a minimum. Otherwise, the installation
attempt is likely to fail. Further note that the number of devices visible to the
z/VM guest or LPAR image affects memory requirements. Installation with liter-
ally hundreds of accessible devices (even if unused for the installation) may
require more memory.

Disk Space Requirements

2 GB disk space is required for the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Network Connection
A network connection is needed to communicate with your SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server system. This can be one or more of the following connections or network cards:
