Is there a way to uninstall the SElinux?

[Axel Jerabek]

I installed the fedora core 2 and i am not really happy with the SElinux
behaviour.
since i ported our video software to the 2.6 kernel i used the fedora core 2
release.
but unhappily i installed it with the SElinux option. Is there a way to get
rid of the SElinux
without having to reinstall the buddy again?

thnx for help, axel.

You can turn off SELinux by adding a kernel param to /etc/grub.conf
Like this: 

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.4-1.300 root=/dev/hda2 ro selinux=0
                                              ^^^^^^^^^

After rebooting, SELinux will be turned off.

This won't for me. Instead, after booting, kernel panics trying to kill
init as no policy has it seems SELinux is still enable but no policy
been loaded into the kernel.

Instead, I changed SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=0 in
/etc/sysconfig/selinux.

yea, that seems to be still a problem/bug. if you have set 
SELINUX=enforcing in /etc/sysconfig/selinux, the kernel-param selinux=0 
won't work (won't even boot...as you said).
but you may rm /etc/sysconfig/selinux, then selinux=0 should work pretty 
fine.
