I recently installed Patchkit 0.2.3 and ran buildworld.sh with only one problem - "virtual memory exhausted". After setting "limit datasize 32767" and "limit stacksize 32767" (I run tcsh) I had no further problems. I am running a 486DX/33 with 16MB and default swap partition. As per instructions in the patchkit, I shut down X before doing this and ran from the console. - Larry Felawka
