Disabling PIT

Hi!

My question is really simple: can i disable the PIT timer without disabling all the interrupts or masking IRQ 0?
I'm searching for a way how i can "reprogram" it and then it'll stop creating new interrupts on IRQ 0.

you might program channel 0 of the PIT as one-shot rather than periodic interrupt. Yet i fail to see why you wouldn't like to mask IRQ0 ...
