Yann E. MORIN 48639f074c boot/syslinux: add option to install lpxelinux
lpxelinux is like pxelinux, except it allows retrieving the files for
the kernel (with the KERNEL directive) and initrd (the path to initrd=
in the APPEND directive) from FTP or HTTP, rather than just from TFTP.
Using HTTP or FTP is musch faster than TFTP, so the boot time for big
kernels or big initrds is much shorter than with TFTP.
