 Hi Nathan,
 
 sorry for the delayed response. 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!
