.kpxe is "keep PXE".  If you're intending to use the PXE stack that was used 
to load gPXE, you probably want a .kpxe image.  If you're intending to 
replace the PXE stack that was used to load gPXE, you probably want a .pxe 
image.

In practice, this means that you use

   bin/undionly.kpxe

and

   bin/anything-except-undionly.pxe
