Thanks,

I looked the homepage and understand your problem.
couldn't this be a feature for FC4T3? I think it's to late for T2 now... 
;-) if yes, i would create an entry in bugzilla, as i think, the 
installation must be quite easy, but SELINUX *hrm*, i really don't know 
(even not in the actual implementation) done by sopwith (Thanks for easy 
handling by gui ;-)
