Yes, that seems to be the most feasible solution. Most probably the medium with the filesets lurks around somewhere near the physical location of the system anyways.

Hardly. First off, installing software requires to be "root". I haven't asked, but you might not be allowed to become root given the circumstances.

If you can become root they do not have to install the software, just mount the media so that you can access it. In this case you can install it yourself:

1) change into the directory the packages reside in. The directory has to be writeable, otherwise copy the packages somewhere else.

2) create a contents-file:
Code:
inutoc .

This creates a content-file in the current directory named ".toc". It is clear-text, but an somewhat awkward format. There is documentation about what means what on the net.

3) start SMIT to install the packages
Code:
smitty install_all

This brings up a screen with the question where to install from. Enter "." (current directory) and in the upcoming screen select the packages (use PF4 to create/select from a list).

After finishing your installation you can delete the package-files and the .toc-file.

I hope this helps.

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       setup [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       setup  provides  a graphical installation interface for EPM-generated portable installation packages. It presents a step-by-step dialog for
       collecting a list of packages to install and accepting any license agreements for those packages.

       setup searches for products in the current directory or the directory specified on the command-line.

INSTALLATION TYPES

       The default type of installation is "custom". That is, users will be able to select from the list of products and install them.

       setup also supports other types of installations. The setup.types file, if present, defines the other installation types.
