    This whole thing reads to me that SELinux is the linux version of 
Norton or Avguard  to Windows. It will capture and keep the offending 
file from doing it's worst.

    My friends with Windows cuss both software because it makes a mess 
out of doing normal things like installing new software.

    There are very few Linux users. There are millions of Windows users. 
A guy writing a virus will write it for Windows every time! Now days 
they are spending time in prison.

    So I decided to turn off SELinux even though it was not the thing to 
do according to the loader. I am glad I did so. I don't need the Norton 
problem on my F7.
