FWIW, I burnt this ISO last night and it installed problem-free on my Sony
Vaio PCG-C1F.

It did give an error that "the packages collection is not available on the
distribution media you've chosen" [true of course], "most likely an FTP site
without the packages collection mirrored.  Please verify that your media, or
your path to the media, is correct and try again." [not so helpful]. Hence
at the end it said the "installation completed with some errors". But it
boots and runs fine.

I then used /stand/sysinstall to install X from the FTP site, since
ports/i386/packages-4.6-release is available on there.

Regards,

Brian.
