So you can use the vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5guest kernel to boot any of the
images provided by jailtime.org? Including ones like Debian 3.1?
Would you mind explaining how is this achieved?  Does a Debian guest system
not need a Debian guest kernel?
Would I be able to do the same with, say, a Suse10 image?
