+
+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
+are incompatible with gpxelinux.0 as it prevents certain functionality
+from working (LOCALBOOT with a type not equal to -1) and is incompatible
+with certain hardware, PXE stacks and network setups.

 PXELINUX currently requires that the boot server has a TFTP server
