fcopy is perfect if you have multiple, different versions of a config
file that you need to copy depending on a FAI class.
If you just have one variant of this file, it's easier to copy this
without using fcopy. For fcopy you need to create an aditional
subdirectory in the /srv/fai/config/files subdir tree.

I personally use this function in my FAI config space for copying
files without FAI classes:

cppmt() {
cp -bS.bak --preserve=3Dmode,timestamps -uv $FAI/files/$1 $target/$1
}

You may not want to use -u.
