SELinux still makes sense on a Live image, especially when that live
image is installed to the hdd.

That's actually a pretty poor security job.  Your passphrase for your
password list should be different than your login password.  That way
anybody who compromises your login password still can't get to the rest
of your stored passwords/passphrases.

Actually yes, you can apply updates to a Live image as it's running and
use the new software.  Also these make sense to have enabled once you
install to the harddrive.

We default to encrypted partitions, so you were being asked to provide a
passphrase for the encryption.  Upon reboot you would be prompted for
this passphrase before boot would continue.  Likewise this passphrase
would be necessary to access the content on that partition from any
other machine.  It's a security measure to protect your data.
