Hi, Steven,

Yes, well, I DID do that for FC8, but this time around:

1. upstream had taken all the anaconda Alpha FC8 patches EXCEPT that one,
   so I didn't/wouldn't have to touch the FC9 anaconda at all
2. if selinux was active and caused problems, maybe someone (else :-)
   would fix it properly.

At least, those are my excuses... ;-}

It WOULD be nice to have a functioning SELinux on Alpha, yes?

Next time I spin an FC9 CD, I'll revisit...

Sorry,

--Jay++
