I think it's better to use the DVD ISO images. (Use Chris Kloiber' mkdvdiso.sh 
script on CD-ROM images.) 

Simply mount them using the loopback option. When satisfied, put all the 
entries in fstab.

If you want to mount selected directories in different places to conform to 
the ftp file directory structure, use the mount --bind olddir newdir form of 
the mount command.
