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!

    I am well into the config, made a lot of changes; almost ready to

    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.
