For SCO Unix ? I don't know specifically how for SCO UNIX, but there are any number of ways. Try ^C, DEL, ^\ about the time it starts asking questions. If all else fails you can go to another system, mount the install floppy, and edit the rc script to put a shell in there. If you can't do that, find someone who can. You may also need to edit the floppy's /etc/fstab if you have a non standard hard disk. Experiment. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180. 'U`
