Hi,
So in short the best current scenario is Anaconda booted in text mode from a USB stick or via PXE with NFS installation source - that should require the least amount of RAM at installation time.
Still even then, especially with kickstart installations that have elaborate post scripts (that need RAM to run as well!) or install tons of packages (depsolving as well as elaborate RPM scriptlets need RAM!) can still throw a wrench into the works.
Also install with just the server repo. The repodata needs memory too, so when adding the "everything" and "updates" repos RAM requirements go up too.
Yes, indeed - I've definitely seen cases where depsolving itself was cuaing OOM - so metadata size, package count and possibly other related factors can influence RAM requirements.
