install CDE on AIX 5.3

UNIX AIX
1

Hi all,
I want to install CDE on AIX 5.3 - TL 10 , X server already installed and most X applications works fine.
i made iso files for 3 out of 8 volumes for the aix ( itried only 3 out of 8 with no luck ), and i mounted them as if they were filesystems.
then i ran

#smit install_all

and specified the current directory which is the file system made of iso images .
but i cannot see any

X11.Dt*

filesets
what i'm missing here

2

try to run inutoc in the folder.

and if not make sure there is a write permission there.

I did workaround i just mounted AIX 5.3 media vloume 2 on a windows machine , copy X11.Dt* and FTPed them in a temp dir than ran smit install_all .
Now everything is okay
