Generating root filesystems for UML and Xen are basically the same |

process. I've heard of domi, but, bleh, I never could get it to work. I |
3 |
usually just make my images in chroot, and that usually works well. But, |

since the images are *basically* the same, that means it would be |
5 |
possible to use the jailtime images, unless you are running on a 64-bit |
6 |
arch. Then, in that case, least with gentoo, running a 64-bit kernel and |
7 |
32-bit userland doesn't work for long (first glibc (re)compile, and the |
8 |
whole thing borks out). |
