+gPXE can be used to enhance PXELINUX's functionality to also include
+HTTP transfers, greatly increasing load speed and allowing for standard
+HTTP scripts to present PXELINUX's configuration file. pxelinux.0 is
+the plain variant. gpxelinux.0 (included as of 3.70) is gPXE's
+undionly.kkpxe, pxelinux.0 and a script to run pxelinux.0. gpxelinuxk.0
+(included as of 4.04) is gPXE's undionly.kpxe, pxelinux.0 and a script
+to run pxelinux.0. gpxelinuxk.0 should only be used with systems that
