8M of RAM should be no problem at all. 1 GB of hard disk space is plenty 
for the base system, which needs about 200 MB. You'll want to use the 
"slinky" installer, as the "miniconda" installer needs at least 12M of 
RAM.

However, slinky is built for Red Hat 7.2 and 7.3. It would take (at least) 
some minor modifications of the package lists before it would work for 
the 6.2 release. Is the 6.2 release critical, or can you use a more up to 
date release?
