[....] I must be missing something. The last few times I've done a Fedora install, anaconda has given me three SELinux choices -- enforcing, permissive, and disabled -- with a strongly worded recommendation against the last. I've always chosen permissive, partly because I know I'm nowhere near being able to cope with enforcing, and mainly because I have no idea what I'd be up against with disabled. But I'm already planning to insist on disabled with F8 -- barring any nasty surprises on my present #3 machine, where it's disabled now. So how much difference *is* there between disabled and not installed? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
