Just loopback mount the ISOs into directories disc1, disc2, disc3... and
point the installer at the disc1 URL.

- FTP/HTTP (from a directory of loopback-mounted ISOs)
Summary:
Pulls files from tree via FTP. Looks in 'disc1/' directory to contain
files from CD #1, 'disc2/' for CD #2, etc. These can be created on the
server by loopback mounting the ISO images into these directories under
the directory made available to ftp.
