Creating an ISO from my system

This could be in the wrong forum, if so please move it :e

I'm trying to learn the most I can about FreeBSD as I just made the switch from Linux, I'm running FreeBSD with XFCE4 and so far I love it. I figure the best way to learn is to just jump in from the ground up. I just installed the virtualbox port and I'm working on my own FreeBSD from scratch. My question is this, if I build it and did a good job is there a way to create an ISO with the FreeBSD installer?

Thanks for the info :)
 
Not with the installer, no. But there are already scripts that do this. Have a look at release(7) and the scripts in /usr/src/release/.

correctly understand /do not speak English well/ that the command "make release" do "backup" to my system like remastersys in Linux?

Do I understand correctly that the command make release does a "backup" to my system, like remastersys in Linux?

No, it just builds a standard install.
 
Depends on what you mean by snapshot. It also needs to include packages and config files and a way to install them from a bootable disk.
