There is a sysctl to enable user level chroot if you know what you are
doing that works for me (i.e. launch tmux + compiler within custom debian
linuxlator instance or launch 3d slicer linux binary), you can find this
with `sysctl -a | grep chroot` (not at the comp right now sorry). You will
also probably need to enable additional sysctl for network access (its
chroot but jails machanism) when needed (and local firewall when
applicable).

This is good option if you yourself want to test by hand something you
know, but its not secure. Jails will give you better security (i.e.
processing external data, exposing interfaces, etc).
