Sorry again, I see the steps:
mkdir distro-constcd distro-const pfexec pkg install install/distribution-constructor cp /usr/share/distro_const/slim_cd/slim_cd_x86.xml . pfexec distro_const build slim_cd_x86.xml and with the slim_cd_x86.xml but it seems that you do not need to do a "git clone .." for the repo to get started. Please forgive me as I am coming from the Linux world of Make and Cmake so this seems a bit different in building steps.
