How to install oracle software when /tmp is not large enough?

Normally here is the solution:

mkdir /oragrid/images/tmp
chmod a+rw /oragrid/images/tmp
TMP=/oragrid/images/tmpT
MPDIR=/oragrid/images/tmp
export TMP TMPDIR


But when i install Oracle grid control 10gR2 on HPUX PA B11.11, I have found that oracle hard-code the TMP value inside. It forces you to use /tmp only.

After comments that line, you can use your own TMP directory.
