+installs it.
+
+Default location for ezjails base jail is
+.I /usr/jails
+, so be sure you have enough space there (a FreeBSD base without man 
+pages, sources and ports is around 120MB).
+
+The -m and -s option will fetch and install man pages (ca. 10MB) and
+sources packages (ca. 450MB) respectively. The -p option invokes the
+portsnap utility to fetch and extract a FreeBSD ports tree (ca. 475MB).
+
+Default OS version is, whatever uname -r returns. If this does not match
+"*-RELEASE", you will be prompted for a better guess. (Normally
+ftp-servers do not provide release candidates or CURRENT builds). You can
+use the -r option to specify a releas from command line.
+
+Default host to fetch packages from is ftp.freebsd.org, you may want to
+change this via the -h option. If the specified location begins with
+file://, your local copy of the release is used. That way you can do some
+modifications to install.sh scripts before executing them.
