It seems, that this is not related to local disk space - as I initally

states, that the minimal memory requirement is 1 GB, so the network
installation /should/ work.
Yeah, I filed a bug report against the documentation some time ago.

Is there a way to install such hosts w/o having to temporarily raise
the available memory?
None that I'm aware of, as of 7.3. If you have a 7.2 install tree, you
can boot the older installer and then update the installed system.
Seems easier to boost the memory, typically.
I gave it a try with 7.2.1511 and that works fine as long as I have
"ip=eth0:dhcp" in my PXE config. As soon as I expand it to
"ip=eth0:dhcp ip=eno1:dhcp rd.neednet=1" (I do that to make sure
kickstart works independently from the name of the network interface),
kickstart enters into emergency mode w/o any error message after a lot
of timeout warnings. However that's something we can work around.
Thanks for the 7.2 hint.
