hi,
you can also download WSAD 5.0 for creating the portlets using the IDE.
then you can start working on the same. all the fixes are not required to start with the portal. since you will only be using the basics of the portal.
hope this helps

If I were you I would buy more RAM. 512 is barely enough to run WSAD -- once you add the portal toolkit and start up a test portal server you'll be really hurting...
