Incorrect. You need exactly *zero* additional space if you install from
network and your current system is a Linux version supporting kexec.
You can even choose to format the whole drive in such an installation
without any problems.

More information about Kexec: http://en.opensuse.org/Kexec

If that isn't sufficient, I can write a section in
http://en.opensuse.org/Installation_without_CD about using Kexec for
that purpose.
