Things are  crazy goings on here guys.
I still have three different kernels installed and every time I switch 
between them , Selinux always has to do a Relabelling before it can go on .

After it gets to a final point I get a error message;

"Cannot open Theme file /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/Constantine"

and there it locks up. Is there a possibility that Selinux is mislabelling ?
It probably wouldn't make any difference to disable Selinux at this point.

I think I'm going to shut down FC12-Alpha and hope it gets more stable 
by Nov.

I have been using a FC10 Rescue cd to check on FC12 install.
I went and found a FC12 Rescue cd , but when I run it it won't allow my 
Network to be activated, The FC10 rescue cd has no problems on 
activating my Broadcom B44 card from connecting.
