Well, it's just failed for me. I have single disk install and found that 
the SELINUX line was set to enforcing in /etc/sysconfig/selinux. It's 
always worked in the past so off the top of my head I have the following 
observations:

1. I may have removed an important rpm
2. This is the first time I have used FC4
3. I may never have noticed (but I don't believe this one)
4. This is the first time I have build CD's as opposed to a http install

So what does the selinux --disable line actually do? Does it just edit 
the sysconfig/selinux file or something more subtle?
