Should this be the default for the final Core 2 (selinux=0)? After
running yum, I received a whole bunch of warnings on the console. I
didn't think to copy them, but here's a snip from /var/log/messages:

I don't mind adding the boot parameter, but for people new to Core 2 all
those errors might be confusing/intimidating.
