Hello;
Actually you don't have to name them the same.
I copied them to a "scratch" VFAT-32 partition called '/common-vfat'.
I wrote down its partiton number from /etc/fstab (/dev/hda7)
Made a directory for them: 'mkdir /common-vfat/RH73'
Do not mount the cd, use dd:
'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/common-vfat/RH73/disk1.iso bs=2048'
I called them 'disk1.iso', 'disk2.iso', and 'disk3.iso'
Made an install floppy from the first cd, booted from it and selected 'hard
disk install'
I was asked for the partition - '/dev/hda7'
Then for the directory - 'RH73'
Worked fine and was very fast
