Note that this requires the selinux +userspace to be installed - in particular you will +need checkpolicy to compile a kernel, and setfiles and +fixfiles to label the filesystem. + +	1. Compile the kernel with selinux enabled. +	2. Type 'make' to compile mdp. +	3. Make sure that you are not running with +	   SELinux enabled and a real policy.

Run install_policy.sh: +		cd scripts/selinux +		sh install_policy.sh + +Step 4 will create a new dummy policy valid for your +kernel, with a single selinux user, role, and type. +It will compile the policy, will set your SELINUXTYPE to +dummy in /etc/selinux/config, install the compiled policy +as 'dummy', and relabel your filesystem.  |
