I got jaunty up and running in chroot. Still no joy with booting into it. It tried modifying the guide to running deblet 770 on to get it going but still didn't get it. I also tried setting it up for mer, but I actually ended up messing up my deblet because I mistakenly mounted it for part of the time...oops. Anyone have any suggestions?

By the way, I don't recommend setting up ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop packages in jaunty...unless you have a very large swap and a lot of time...but it does work.
