For example, is there a way to know which U*.bff fileset correlates to the filesets below? If yes, maybe I can remove the U*.bff fileset from my staging directory, so that it doesn't install or complain about those?

I have the Java update. I don't need the bottom four fiilsets. Is there anyway to download xlsmp.msg.EN_US.rte 2.1.0.1 fileset individually, without having to download a whole fixpack??

I removed the other languages. Ok, good, I was concerned if the en_US was going to complain about the EN_US getting removed. Thanks

One more thing about the java fileset below. I downloaded the installp image of Java6.sdk 6.0.0.215 and put it in my repository directory along with my other .bff files. I tried installing Java6.sdk with installp -a -Y -d /staging/AIX_6.1.6/Java6_64.sdk and it complained. So, I just went ahead and ran a smit install>Install and Update Software>Install Software>Input device /staging/AIX_6.1.6/>Yes on License Agreement and ran it. It installed fine. Is there a way to incorporate this installp image of Java sdk to working without complaining in my fixpack upgrade.

This is the command I used to upgrade my fixpack:
install_all_updates -Y -d /staging/AIX_6.1.6
