... though it should be mentioned that running "tftpd" in "standalone/listen"
mode ("-l" option) is preferred over launching it from [x]inetd.
This might not be the default configuration on all distros that provide
a "tftp-hpa" package.

Furthermore serving "large files" (Windows/Bart PE images) generates
significantly more load than serving "small files" (linux kernels,
initrd images) in addition to the bootloader, e. g. pxelinux.
