Couple of nits from FC2T3 install

I have custom NFS-installed FC2T3 without any problem on my dual PIII 
test PC (Supermicro P6DBS, Adaptec 7895 SCSI adapter, SCSI disks).

When booting it for the first time, I encountered the following:

1) Console mouse services failed to start with "no mouse configured".
However, anaconda recognized my mouse just fine, and it works in X.
This is a PS2 wheel mouse behind an ATEN KVM. FC1 and before that RH8,9
set up the mouse for the console just fine.

2) I was asked twice what resolution display I wanted. Initially also
asked to confirm graphics card + monitor, then, in the middle of
firstboot, just the resolution + color depth.

3) In spite of running with selinux disabled, there are still log entries
about it -- why? Here is what I have, first set from boot:

May  2 09:52:01 fallguy kernel: Security Scaffold v1.0.0 initialized
May  2 09:52:01 fallguy kernel: SELinux:  Initializing.
May  2 09:52:01 fallguy kernel: SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode
May  2 09:52:01 fallguy kernel: There is already a security framework initialized, register_security failed.
May  2 09:52:02 fallguy kernel: Failure registering capabilities with the kernel
May  2 09:52:02 fallguy kernel: selinux_register_security:  Registering secondary module capability

Second set when I ran up2date (from the GUI):

May  2 10:59:41 fallguy userhelper[5272]: running '/usr/sbin/up2date' with root privileges on behalf of 'wriede'
May  2 11:02:01 fallguy kernel: security_context_to_sid: called before initial load_policy on unknown context system_u:object_r:default_t
May  2 11:02:01 fallguy kernel: security_context_to_sid: called before initial load_policy on unknown context system_u:object_r:root_t
May  2 11:02:01 fallguy kernel: security_context_to_sid: called before initial load_policy on unknown context system_u:object_r:home_root_t
May  2 11:02:01 fallguy kernel: security_context_to_sid: called before initial load_policy on unknown context system_u:object_r:home_root_t
May  2 11:02:01 fallguy kernel: security_context_to_sid: called before initial load_policy on unknown context system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t

[ and many, many lines more like it ].

4) I chose not to install Mozilla (deselected graphical internet) but still
have the web browser task bar icon (which fails if clicked, obviously).

All in all much better than T1 or T2, where I got totally bogged down
by selinux issues.

Keep up the good work! Willem Riede.
