This might be the wrong list to be asking this, but out of curiosity-

Why can't relabeling be done if the host is running with selinux 
disabled?  (selinux=0)

It's just writing some metadata to the fs right?  Seems like it should 
be possible.

And on a seperate note, I agree that prelinking really ought to be done 
in %post.  That's something that a kickstart user might be interested in 
doing in the non-livecd case as well, for the same reasons, right?
