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.
