I have the sony PCG Z505LS, and I had no problems booting off the cdrom (you need to get the sony pcmcia one for $250 or the dvd one for $450), they are both bootable, else boot from floppy and install over netowrk. Jason ps, I had no problems with anything (this is 4.3 stable though), ethernet worked, sound card worked (after redoing kernel), mouse worked (but not the double tap on the glide area).
