Re: old CD's with arch installations ISO's

If the old iso is post aug 2013 , it should be possible to install arch linux in steps using the arch linux archive server as mirror.
That will be a lot of work and tricky though.

You could try Install from existing Linux

Re: old CD's with arch installations ISO's

How old are you talking.  All arch installs are "net installs" and they have been for a very long time (if they ever weren't).

But a more important question: why bother?  CDs are cheap.  Get a new one.

I wouldn't use anything that doesn't have pacman 5+. Without that, hooks won't be run and your new system will be broken.
