F9 first impressions of release - and a couple niggles

F9 - installed from DVD iso:

1) Laptop touchpad tap (or double tap) was not recognised by installer so
had to plug in a usb mouse so that I could customise disk partition info.

2) I could not see where to select SElinux "disabled" either during install 
or at firstboot?  Did I miss something?

3) Encrypted root and /opt (separate) partitions as selected during install
worked beautifully... though I did not also encrypt swap - it was not clear
that doing so for swap would use random passphrase or not - but that can
be added later - that is really excellent - really great!
It would be nice to arrange it so that the /opt (separate) partition could
have its luks passphrase stored in the encrypted partition, so that only
one passphrase needs to be entered on subsequent boots - but I guess that 
this can be done as a post install configuration change?

Anyway this release is looking great so far (this is before zero day updates!)
