-## How to Build the ISO with a GUI
-
-For a more user-friendly experience, you can use a Docker container that provides a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) to build the ISO.
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-Ensure you have Docker installed and running on your system.
-
-### Steps to Build with the GUI
-
-1. **Clone the repository**:
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/Githubguy132010/Arch-Linux-without-the-beeps.git
-   cd Arch-Linux-without-the-beeps
-   ```
-
-2. **Build the GUI Docker Image**:
-
-   Build the Docker image for the GUI application.
-
-   ```bash
-   docker build -t arch-iso-gui -f Dockerfile.gui .
-   ```
-
-3. **Run the GUI Container**:
-
-   Run the container, mapping port 8080 to your host system.
-
-   ```bash
-   docker run --rm --privileged -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd):/workdir arch-iso-gui
-   ```
-
-4. **Access the GUI**:
-
-   Open your web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8080`.
-
-5. **Build the ISO**:
-
-   Click the "Build ISO" button to start the build process. The logs will be displayed in real-time on the page.
-
-6. **Download the ISO**:
-
-   Once the build is complete, a download link for `Arch.iso` will appear.

 ## How to Use GitHub Actions (Automated Workflow)
 
 This repository also includes a GitHub Actions workflow for building and releasing the ISO automatically on GitHub.
