If you have the .iso file somewhere on disk, just mount it directly, and use it exactly like it was a disk. The mount command looks something like this: mount -o loop -o exec /path/to/installer.iso /media/cdrom /media/cdrom/installer --log
This is the way I install the software. My mount command is --- mount -r -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/installer.iso /media/cdrom (* jcl *)
You may want to spend some time reading the man page for the mount command. Good luck!
