the only way ? i thought UNIX-alikes were known for having always more
than one way ;-)

another option is to use cpdup to duplicate a fresh jail

also quite interesting imho is this :

http://www.the-labs.com/FreeBSD/JailTools/fbsd_jails.html

this webmin-module offers "light-jails", read-only /usr mount, and
also jails installed in a single file

if you have that file you can easily reproduce new jails with a simple
cp-command
