Setting SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config is sufficient, but you
can alternatively add selinux=0 to your kernel boot parameters to
disable SELinux.  They end up having the same net effect; it is just a
matter of when it gets disabled (immediately via selinux=0 or later
by /sbin/init via /etc/selinux/config).
