Just copy all 6 dvds as images in your hard disk.

And then if u want to mount those images into your cdrom virtually,

$ sudo mount -o loop /source/path/ubuntu-bla-1.iso /media/cdrom

This will mount the image into virtual cdrom.

Now you can install as usual.

To unmount the cdrom,

$ sudo umount /media/cdrom

Note : umount, not unmount.

Keep Rock!
