I think it was mentioned before in general terms: mount the isos as
filesystems:

cd /mnt
mkdir iso1 iso2 iso3
mount -o loop=/dev/loop1 -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso
/mnt/iso1
mount -o loop=/dev/loop2 -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/yarrow-i386-disc2.iso
/mnt/iso2
mount -o loop=/dev/loop3 -t iso9660 /path/to/iso/yarrow-i386-disc3.iso
/mnt/iso3

now you have /mnt/iso1/* as the contents of the first iso.  You may want
to make the mount points be in a different place if you need them to be
available via your ftp server.
