stops on system setting up clock

[david]

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
