The secure installer asks me for my root pw then tells me to just press enter
Enter current password for root (enter for none):

So I ctl-c it and run the install_db, which gets me back to the selinux & its
used bull food leavings.
Do I need to touch /.autorelabel and reboot? With 2TB of drives I can't begin
to describe how painful that 4 hours would be.
Or go file a bug against selinux and mysql?
Frustration reigns supreme here. If I have to reboot, it might just be to
Kubuntu-8.10 or a beta of 9.4.
At this point, if you have VM capable hardware, I would suggest using KVM and a
virtual machine for trial runs on stuff like this. You can make a copy-on-write
image, and if it gets hosed delete it and start again. Great way to avoid the
backout process.
Added that (selinux) list to To: Daniel, your turn, it's 18:05 here, and I've
been screwing with this since about 18:00 yesterday. That is long enough
IMO. This thread has a now VERY lengthy thread on the fedora list.
