Your "PXE server" made with you with for example: ISC dhcpd, tftp-hpa, 
and maybe other components.

Maybe, but not in all cases. (example last slash must be present here 
otherwise will not work at all: --dhcp-option-force=210,/arch/ )

dnsmasq always start the dhcp server, in fact I titled it as "* DHCP + TFTP"

Following the policy, that the user knows what he does, and this is

not think it needed further clarification. If necessary the wiki is the
