At startup, you will see a message that say Press I to run in interactive mode, there you can reject starting sendmail when you are prompted.

Now this is something to add to my Linux support/admin notes.

THANKS!

The system hangs trying to start sendmail.  I was thinking hard about
disabling sendmail, but thought I needed it for internal
functions, so
did not.  yet.

So is there someway to get the system working so I can change
something
like disable sendmail?

The system has no cdrom, diskette, etc.  In fact the kybd/monitor
require a special temp setup.  Perhaps I can edit the kernel line in
grub to disable something?

If necessary, I can pull the drive and put it in a system that does
support cdrom.  That is the way I did the initial harddrive install.
