If you want to do PXE Boot and install from there, you need tftpd. It can either be configured as standalone daemon in /etc/defaults/tftpd-hpa or via inetd. > it is written in fai guide that if the installation process proceeds it > will overwrite all the data which is there in client machine.

If you test with the same client that you want to install anyway(that is your final goal, isn't it?), it shouldn't matter :) And you can use the function sysinfo - see the fai guide for explanations on it, or if you use fai-chboot read it's manpage and set FAI_ACTION to sysinfo only.
