    I was following this guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora-14-i686-gnome

    when I was installing F14 64. I've sucessfully used previous iterations of the guides most notably on F12 32bit and so I know they worked

    However when I got to the SELinux guide:
    this section failed to work:
    I got this Error:

    I managed to disable SELinux from the menus but I wonder have I missed something?

    Riff, I got the same error. How did you manage to disable selinux from the menus?
    I'm looking but so far don't understand what would disable it in add remove software..lots of selinux stuff.
    Also, it's been awhile, does it seem to have worked properly?

    I'm having a problem now with my flash/java working in firefox now, and am wondering if it selinux causing it to fail. I did the update for Yum. Also considering trying a different program but I'd like to get selinux disabled first to see if that is it.

    If you are having trouble disabling selinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux you can do

    Code:
    echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
    Which will set enforcement to false.
