I did that once. I copied the isos to the HD, mounted
them with "-o loop", then I put a symlink to each one
in /var/www, and then put an entry for each one of
them in sources.list, and I could use apt to install
from them.
You need to install a web server for that.
Maybe another method exists, this one is simple
enough.
