No, you do not need to extract the contents of the iso-files. Just mount 
them to the directories disc1, disc2, and disc3.

I.e.
cd /var/ftp/pub/fedora
mkdir disc1
mkdir disc2
mkdir disc3
mount -o loop /whatever/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso disc1
mount -o loop /whatever/yarrow-i386-disc2.iso disc2
mount -o loop /whatever/yarrow-i386-disc3.iso disc3

On the question on what directory to use on the ftp-server, use /pub/fedora

I am installing to my laptop using this technique just now... :-)
