GUI Install from a custom Arch ISO file / local source


Hi,

This request might upset the Arch purists, but here goes.

What I need is a GUI installer that will install Arch Linux from a custom ISO I have, or its extracted contents.

I have found plenty that will do an install from the repos, but nothing that will do it from a local source.
