There are errors on this page with regards to FreeBSD 10.2
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-build.html

There is no indication when it would be appropriate to exit from the shell 
started as the first step in the illustrated procedure.

The command to install just the base system should be
	tar -xf /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz -C $DESTDIR
(hyphen, not underbar, in "freebsd-dist")

The command to install everything except the kernel should be
	for sets in base doc games lib32 ports src; do tar -xf 
/mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/$sets.txz -C $DESTDIR ; done
(ls: /mnt/FREEBSD_INSTALL/USR/FREEBSD_DIST: No such file or directory
  filename extension is txz, not TXZ
  lettercase error in "sets" list
  incomplete list of archives to install "everything except the kernel")

The "procedure for building a jail" contains errors:
	setenv D /here/is/the/jail
fails within the (Bash) shell previously started: setenv: not found
