ARCHISO - how to install the fully customised iso?

I have searched forums, but so far not found the answer.
I may sound really stupid but:-

I have successfully created fully customised .iso (releng) of  Arch installation on my desktop with all my programs using excellent Archiso guide "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso",
and burned it on cd. on restarting with CD i am getting boot screen and rootarchiso command prompt etc.

Now how do i install this custom made .iso with all the software?

Because when i use "Beginners guide", i reach "pacstrap /mnt base" and it starts downloading base and all.
so it defeats my purpose of having fully customised .iso at hand to install.

I know i am missing something, but what is it?

Best regards

After the partitions are formatted and mounted under some folder, transfer the system while it's running:
