Particularly so, with my initial install of Fedora 12:
Update wouldn't work until I disabled it. Even the
"Permissive" setting caused problems.

I don't really need selinux. I would like to uninstall
it. It just takes up space on the hard drive and
consumes RAM, but it is a dependency for most
everything. So, it's set to load disabled.

That is fine, but please do not recommend others disable
it.
Why? If it's the root of the problem... Besides "others" are free to make
their own decisions, are they not?
As it turned out, the OP's update/F12 problem was related to his own settings and not
selinux, but initially insufficient info was given to discern that. However, my F12
update problem was. And it wasn't the first time. To date, I don't know if
it's fixed. Perhaps on my next update, I'll "enable" selinux and see
what happens.
