The first section contains This example shows how to setup a jail directory tree containing an entire FreeBSD distribution: D=/here/is/the/jail cd /usr/src mkdir -p $D make world DESTDIR=$D cd etc make distribution DESTDIR=$D cd $D/dev sh MAKEDEV jail cd $D ln -sf dev/null kernel Clearly, this doesn't work on a 5.0 system if you want to set up a 4.7 jail. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
