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.
