Hi,
Ever since I've made the swap size using the default recommendation from
sysinst:
128 M RAM; 512 M SWAP
Perl5 from pkgsrc fails to install. Perl5 used to compile and install
without error when my system was configured 128M RAM, 256 SWAP. Below
is the message error I get: (Sorry for the long list. Just thought it
would be more helpful in debugging for the developer when presented with
detail!).

First let's make sure your kit is complete. Checking...

Checking compatibility between /bin/echo and builtin echo (if any)...
Symbolic links are supported.
Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.
Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.
