CentOS - Sep 2014 - Minimum RAM for CentOS7

Just FYI:

I had several problems to install CentOS 7 with 512 MB RAM. No log
showed me that problem (I would expect a system check before).

With 1 GB RAM everything runs fine. Don't know, what they do with
more than 512 MB RAM on a text only system during installation ...

Best Regards
Oli

Could switch to a different console and bounce on top, if you're
interested.

512MB seems really small these days, so I'm guessing you're using this
as a small appliance box like a NAT router.  Is there a reason you
prefer CentOS over a distro targeted to your application?  If it's a NAT
router, for example, there are a bunch of slim-profile distros which are
designed specifically for NAT routing on a small system.
