dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image.iso

NB:  if = input file (specify your CD/DVD-ROM device)
     of = output file (specify the filename you want to use)

You could also copy the directory tree structure of each disc into one
big tree, and do network installs that way.  I get quite quick results
using my webserver for network installs.
