On a one-time basis, with the grub boot line selected, hit "a" to
append, add " 3" to the end of the boot line, then hit return.

For the long-term, edit /etc/inittab and change the id:5:initdefault:
line to read id:3:initdefault:.

I've had no experience with selinux.  I disable it.

Knowing it to be the bleeding edge, a proving ground for the
commercial offering, perhaps they put more adventurous stuff in it.
I've not upgraded any of my FC4 boxes to FC5 yet.  I'm not in a hurry,
and I don't have that much time to spare.  Maybe if I read the README
for FC5, I'll get more interest.
