    There's quite a bit to that... First, do you have a way to trigger them all? Second, do you intend to use modifiers (I think you should). You can mount them all in the same umbrella/softbox with something like the Lastolite Triflash Bracket. You can also mount them separately, with separate modifiers. You'll need light stands, too.

    The best place to start is this set of posts by our resident strobism expert, Sean Setters: http://community.the-digital-picture...ead.php?t=1627. There are three sections, and although the links at the top are broken, the links to the next section at the botom of the first and second posts work.

    If Sean reads this, his tutorial/thread could use an update since we have switched servers. Some of the pics and links are now dead.

    It's unfortunate what the changeover did to those pages. I've bookmarked them and I'll get around to updating the pages eventually.

    By the way, when it comes to a multiple flash mount, this is probably my new favorite: The Triple Threat Universal

    This mount attaches directly to the umbrella shaft and allows you to position the flashes so that they strike the umbrella very evenly. It's a simple and elegant design, I believe.

    Otherwise, a standard umbrella swivel will do for starters.
