How to cancel a installing process

Hi everyone.

Are there any way to cancel installing process after typing "tmsh install sys software....." ?

One day, during a test I realized that I tried to install unexpected s/w version.

But I couldn't find any method. It's waste of time!!.

Does anyone have any idea?

    I believe there is no option to cancel it but i can advice let the software install on new 

    image partition HD1.1
    . After that you can delete that image partition 
    HD1.1
    and recreate during new installation. 

        delete sys software volume HD1.1

    Hope it will work for you.
