right..

I think copying files over the other is not so good. I'd rather like to see 
another class, REALHARDWARE, which does not get defined in case the system is 
a xen-instance, a vserver or a chroot.

But I also think this is advanced usage, so I would propose to accept that the 
simple examples cause errors in this special (or not so special) cases and 
have a (complete, without copying over) advanced example config dir, which 
has such a REALHARDWARE class.

Such a class is also useful for other stuff, like configuring munin or mrtg.


regards,
