Mount by loop the isos into the ftp server into separate
directories named disc1, disc2 and disc3.
When the install asks you for the location, answer the ip and the
path to those directories.
Last night I've installed fedora in my home from the three loopback
mounted isos into my work's http server (same as ftp). Done smoothly.
