I want to put each in their own jail on a host system. I have installed 6.2-Release on the host and successfully used freebsd-update to grab up to -p8. So far so good. Now, I was going to install the jails using the standard way (man jail): JAIL=/path/to/jail cd /usr/src mkdir -p $JAIL make world DESTDIR=$JAIL make distribution DESTDIR=$JAIL and so forth. But then it occurred to me that freebsd-update says it only works on installations that haven't been built from source. My question then is how can I use freebsd-update with jails? Thanks for any help. Vinny
