But don't you see- this isn't a real issue-

BECAUSE LINUX IS ABOUT CHOICE ;)

How hard is this? ->

yum -y install livecd-tools

sed -i -e 's/selinux\ --enforcing/selinux\ --disabled/' \
/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-8-base-desktop.ks

livecd-creator \
--config=/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks

P.S. - yes, it's a bit trickier to extract the 100MB or so of selinux 
support packages so that you can actually fit more of the software you 
are interested in on the constrained 700MB livecd, but I'll leave that 
as an excercise for the reader.
