How to create slipstreamed ISO with ALHP x86-64_v3 repos

Hey friends, one thing I do when installing a new build is use the v3 ALHP repos (and on a new computer I'm putting together, I'll be using v4!). However this feels like a silly process: install everything, login, change the pacman.conf to point at the ALHP repos, then update. It feels like duplicating a lot of work.

I'd like to explore either slipstreaming an ISO to install this way from scratch or to see if there's any way to run pacstrap but make it point at these repos. What's the ideal way to do this? Or is this just a waste of time?

Thanks!

pacstrap is just running pacman. Change pacman.conf before running it.

Ok, yeah, seems simple enough. I'd need to get the keys imported in the live environment, update pacman.conf - I wouldn't need to 'pacman -Syu' in the live environment, would I?
