Fedora (again) forces me to disable SELinux

[gopal das]

I am using SELinux from fedora core 6 and I its working fine. I have
installed many packages through yum and its also fine. Though whenever I
installed a fedora or red hat based os then I change the selinux to
permissive after the first time installation.

Cheers
