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
You may want to spend some time reading the man page for the mount
command.
Good luck!
