As for the installation, the slackware install setup takes care of those needs. The 256MB of ram is enough space to run or install Slackware for the OP's hardware. Sure the more memory the better.

I suggested that since this is stated on slackwares' install disc 1 before setup is launched:
"- If you're having problems that you think might be related to low memory (this is possible on machines with 32 or less megabytes of system memory), you can try activating a swap partition before you run setup. After making a swap partition (type 82) with cfdisk or fdisk, activate it like this: mkswap /dev/<partition> ; swapon /dev/<partition>"
Sure, the OP has more than 32MB or memory, but that doesn't mean its not worth a try.
