If that's all it takes, you should replace the wiki content...
And what does penlinux add that made you use it instead of your solution above?

It was a version problem (default packaged syslinux was too old)...
Might be this, but not sure:

"Changes in 3.72 : ... ISOLINUX: support generating images which can be either a CD-ROM or a hard disk (USB disk, etc.) See doc/isolinux.txt for more information"

That only gets you a bootable USB key, but without the packages. May be
all you want, but not really all the article, or the alternatives, cover.
