I remove all of the selinux packages and disable it as well in


packages I make sure are not installed via kickstart:

CentOS 4.x
libselinux
libselinux-devel
libsepol
selinux-policy-targeted

CentOS 5.x
libselinux
libselinux-devel
libselinux-python
libsemanage
libsepol
libsepol-devel
selinux-policy
selinux-policy-targeted

on CentOS 4.x I also do this via kickstart:
sed -i s'/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled'/g /etc/sysconfig/selinux

as using kickstart's internal stuff to disable selinux didn't
seem to do the job.
