I've tested RC3, and here's what I've found.

On a standard install:

1. I've selected all of the X servers and when it comes to extract the X
distribution, an error pops up similar to:

Unable to transfer Servers/X3DL

Try to retrieve again?

Yes  No

The "Yes" option does not work at all, when hitting enter or space, the
screen just stays.  "No" works fine.

A number of the X servers pop up with this error.

X3DL
X8514
XAGX
XI128
XMa8
XMa64
XMono
XP9K
XS3
XS3V
XSVGA
XVG16
XW32

2. sshd is mentioned as "SSHd", but this has been recently changed.

3. The message:
"Do you want to configure inetd and simple internet services?"

leads me to believe I will be configuring other internet services, perhaps
it would be better reworded:
"Do you want to configure inetd and the internet services it invokes?"

4. For some reason, moused completely goes haywire on my machine.  (It
worked on 4.3-R)
When enabling it (PS2, Intellimouse) the screen goes haywire.
On the debug screen, psmintr: out of sync (0000 != 0008) appears
repeatedly.  This happens when trying to invoke moused manually after the
system has been installed as well.  I'm not sure if there have been any
recent changes to moused/psm drive to be causing this.

5. And lastly, when configuring a NIC, it no longer asks to configure via
IPv6/DHCP.

On a side note, the enter/spacebar logic has slightly changed.  I'm used
to just hitting an enter a second time when the Distributions screen pops
up.  Now, you must scroll up to Exit and hit enter.  Doing what I did
before results in sysinstall asking to install the ports tree however many
times you do it wrong.
