I wrote a utility (attached) to make the process really fast and easy:
jail_build(8): Build FreeBSD jails from binary distributions Here's a simple howto: Step 1: Create a landing zone for your binary distribution (jail_build(8) looks in `/usr/repos' for binary distributions)... sudo mkdir -p /usr/repos sudo cd /usr/repos Step 2: Download one or more binary FreeBSD distributions (any version, any platform)... wget -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE Step 3: Download jail_build(8)... cd wget http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/jail_build.txt mv jail_build.txt jail_build chmod +x jail_build Step 4: Build your jail(s)... ./jail_build -- Devin (full sig at bottom) P.S. Feedback welcome.
