Several mentioned something about 'disabled' that I have not seen you address. SELinux in not like a lamp. On (enabled/enforcing) and Permissive (enabled/reports only) keep the SELinux 'system' active and 'up to date' with the permissions. Disables (off) does not. So turning it off for a time and then turning it back on will most likely cause problems, from what I understand. Everyone here seems to be in a the panic mode. If left alone, as I have done, SELinux just runs merrily along. I do not have any third party packages installed. I don't try to watch videos that require Windows codecs. No fancy rotating cube desktops. No Windows games run in Linux. No third party compiled video drivers. Nothing special. Linux is about choice. You don't want to use it? Turn it off by all means. BTW - You mentioned having problems with man pages. The site where this script came from is down for some reason but I have, from there, a script that will make a text file of man pages. Load in your favorite editor. Search. Scroll back and forth. Do your thing. -- David
