This is right.  In fact if you try to do it (as I did) you'll
end up with a system that needs manual intervention to boot.

Hans's remix on the CT is recommended.  I have upgraded mine to F20, I
am running an upstream(-ish) kernel, and have got virtualization
working.  There are instructions on my blog on how to do all this.

Make sure you get a serial cable (ie. CP2102 USB-serial converter).
