I am fully ok with the proposed solution. The options - using the *Other* Button or set the *BSD_INSTALL_DISTSITE* Environment variable are enough with respect to the very specific use case. I personally now use sysutils/ezjail from the ports for large Jail deployments, which manages the installation for me. Anyway, it could be benefitial to add bsdinstalls jail capabilities to the handbook, including best known methods. Kind regards, Matthias p.s. you can close the PR - I am fine with the current state. Thanks!
