[Users] HA: Show stopper while trying out Openvz 7 beta 1

[jjs - mainphrame]

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for the additional insight. I just tried the " -O --available"
option and it lists only the available ez-templates that are not already
installed, a nice context-sensitive behavior.

As for the actual process, we do prefer to modify the templates with some
standard changes before deploying them, e.g. replacing sendmail with
postfix, so the discrete steps are actually not a problem for me.

Joe
