If you are using grub, then go to edit mode of grub and append 1 (yes numeric 1) to the end of command line which mentions about kernel and all other parameters to it. Botting this way will end up in single user mode. Now you can use the command chkconfig to disable ntpd which is used for updating the system time at boot-up VJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "david" <davidjs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Users of Fedora Core" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 11:45 AM Subject: stops on system setting up clock > hi all > how do i get it to go past; > setting up system clock > its just sits there and wont continue to boot > is there a way of getting it to stop checking for the time > the network is up or at least other machines on this network including > this one are working > and that machine has been online so everything is configured, network > wise any way > so please how can i just turn of the synchronization of the time > thanks > david > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list >
