    Yes.
    1) Unpack images in any temporary catalog
    2) Unpack latest CSF in same catalog
    3) Read documentation of CSF. Here's part of read.me from CSF 1.41
    4) Enjoy

Section 9.  Setting Environment Variables

  There are several SET statements that set environment variables for the
  FixTool to use.  See the table below for a list of these variables and
  a description of what they do.

   Environment Variable              Usage
   -------------------------------   -----------------------------------
>   SET CSFUTILPATH=path              Allows you to run SERVICE or
                                     FSERVICE from your hard drive or
                                     from a redirected drive.

>   SET CSFCDROMDIR=path              Allows you to install a FixPak
                                     from a redirected drive or CD-ROM.
                                     All of the FixPak files should be
                                     in this path.  This path should NOT
                                     be pointing to a floppy (or virtual
                                     floppy) drive.

   SET REMOTE_INSTALL_STATE=0|1      If this variable is set to 0, then
                                     upon termination FixTool returns
                                     control to the calling process.

   SET CSFDRIVEAPPLY=d               Allows you to restrict service to
                                     products found only on drive d and
                                     on the boot drive.

|  SET CSFTIMESTAMP=1                Adds a timestamp to each line of the
