How to install an Archiso? Tips - gui s?

Hello,
about a year ago I first installed ArchLinux, back when the blue screen installer was used. Does that still exists? Can it be used to simplify an archiso install?

NOTE: I can't have an internet connection on the computer I'm trying to install. (thats why I made an archiso)

I have my custom Archiso ready, but I'm not sure how to install it (as is)... Should I simply do as the wiki sais? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide

(though i'd prefer a gui or some command-line assistance) Is there other way of doing it?
Here I read that simply by mounting the partitions, and then rsync-ing the system over to the mounted partitions it can be done: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148856

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!


Don't forget to mark as [SOLVED].

Where have you been all this while? Try to keep up with the news. Google and you shall receive.

That's quite a problem isn't it?

Pretty much. Follow the Beginners Guide. That's what its for

If you follow the beginners guide installing arch is just as straightforward as installing ubuntu. It's just not as automatic. Why can't you have internet?

No internet? No problem.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Of … positories

Note: This repository used to be included in the core installation media, so you could build a fully working base system without Internet access. This is no longer the case. Internet access is now required in order to install a new system. See here if you would like to create a local repository with packages from [core] or from any of the other repositories.

And regarding the GUI installer:

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
