Bulk Fixes Selection
Under smit, one has to manually select each fix with F7. there 9000 fixes left to be marked. How Can I manually install/Mark all of these without SMIT.

From the command line
Code:
instfix -T -d <path_to_bff's> | instfix -d <path_to_bff's> -f-

No idea what your question is because it is so poorly described but my best guess would be to use smitty update_all.....

hmm...sorry about that..sounded perfectly good to me. The question was (or intended to be) how to install multiple fixes via the command line or through smit instead of having to select th 10195 fixes via F7 key (mark the selection) in Smit.

Ok, I guessed correctly then, use smitty update_all and point it at the update directory and it will update all of the currently installed software to the latest level in the update directory.
