Ittai:
You don't have to modify the file kitintal.com in the saveset in order to
prevent a system shutdown. During the installation, just wait until the
installation procedure announces that it will be shutting down the system,
then hit the <Control C> to abort the installation.  Then you can proceed
to shutdown or reboot  the VAX at a later time.
