With the GUI interface there is an option saying
"Enforcing Current" : Enforcing which i have selected if i remove that
thing would i enter "permissive mode" ?
Is there a CLI that can set the thing ?

For me it is just a working recipe that i have become used to , so 
unless there is some pretty serious reason i don't intent to change it,
you see am just a home user and seamonkey is all i can ask for .
Since you mentioned HTML editor have you tried Quanta Plus , it's in
development , am just happy with the browser and the email client , i 
don't need anything more .

Ask yum about that . I just entered "yum install seamonkey" and it came
from download.fedora.redhat.com , so i guess it exists . Btw the funny
story goes on . After i tried the thing , i tried to remove the rpm
version . Guess what again another 255 complaining about an scriptlet
error . A couple of minutes ago i checked and the rpm version was gone 
but due to some error the rpm database wasn't notified . So the rpm 
database believes that the thing is there while it isn't .
