NIS no longer

I recentely aquired an old B1000 workstation running HP-UX 11(I think) that was a member of a NIS domain. As such it now fails to find it's domain, that lab has been dismantled, this is however not a huge problem by it's self but what is a problem is that all of the libs and bins were stored in a central location which I don't have access to. I this point I can only boot into single user mode and use the binarys in /sbin as this and /etc were the only directories stored locally. Is there any place I can get the files needed to run a text editor so I can edit config files and get this system back in order. I have asked arround here at the university and no one seems to be able to help and I'd rather keep HP-UX on this box rather than installing Debian or some other flavor of Linux.

::EDIT::
This is not for personal use, it is for the lab I currently work in. The system is still owned by the university so I'm not asking to do anything illegal, I just don't want to pay $600+ for media to reinstall.
::/EDIT::

Thanks in advance.

CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)						CDBS Documentation						CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)

NAME

       cdbs-edit-patch - create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch

SYNOPSIS

       cdbs-edit-patch patchname

DESCRIPTION

       cdbs-edit-patch	creates  or edits patches for use by the CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch system.	For more information about CDBS please see
       the documentation under /usr/share/doc/cdbs/.

       When patchname exists, cdbs-edit-patch will set up a temporary working source tree, apply all patches up to and including patchname in lex-
       icographic  order,  and	spawn  an  interactive shell for the developer.  The developer can then edit files in this working tree.  When the
       developer is done and exits the shell, cdbs-edit-patch updates patchname to reflect the changes made.  To abort the process from the inter-
       active shell, exit with a nonzero exit value.

       When patchname does not exist, cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a new patch should be created.  As with the above scenario, cdbs-edit-patch
       will first create a temporary working source tree and apply all patches up to the new patch in lexicographic  order.   When  the  shell	is
       quit, cdbs-edit-patch will create patchname.
