Actually, the basic OS portion of it may not be correct. But if you 
think of basic OS as system libraries, then yes, they are there. 
Actually if you build a PC that could only run a single application 
(ie: kernel+libraries+application), then the container is the 
libaries+application part.

I have some details on my website that might help you get started:
