No - not good form. Don't use kernel parameters where configuration
files in /etc tree accomplish the task much more elegantly and you can
use GUI tools.
# head -n 6 /etc/selinux/config
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=permissive
edit per instructions (changed to disabled) or use
system-config-security and change it to disabled there (the result is
exactly the same)
