   Making a usb stick drive work is really as simple as the link 
suggests.  Assuming the usb device is already formated as fat, and our 
cdrom is in the drive.  All you need to do is this:
mount /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/(usb device) /mnt/usb
cp  /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/* /mnt/usb
rm /mnt/usb/isolinux.bin
mv /mnt/usb/isolinux.cfg /mnt/usb/syslinux.sys
umount /mnt/cdrom /mnt/usb
syslinux -s /dev/(usb device)
