Thanks for your report.
As mentioned in comment 7 there is already a way to install from an iso. Mount
the iso and use the file:/ URI. (man sources.list)
@BlessedGeek, you can't directly access the iso and forgot the first step of
the blog post you mentioned "The first step is to mount the iso. For detailed
tutorial on mounting iso in Ubuntu can be found here."
Furthermore, root need to have read access to the mounted iso. So using
"archive mounter" from a user account won't work since root has no read access
to the user's .gvfs directory.
An improvement could be to propose an option in software-properties to mount
the iso and avoid the manual mount.
I'm affecting this report to software-properties and setting to triage.
Thanks for your help.
