[Mediawiki-l] troubles with the math package.

[W.]

hi,

i'm afraid the chcon command did not really work. all i got was:

     # chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t images
     chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file images

after a bit of googling i found a solution which involves changing the 
options of disk mounts, but unfortunately as i don't have root access to the 
server it is not really applicable. ( 
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/printthread.php?t=44633 ) also on every 
page that had information about chcon, the name SELinux was present aswell. 
is it only used on systems with SELinux installed? I couldn't find any 
evidence of SELinux being installed in my system (tried `dmesg | grep 
selinux` and `find /etc | grep selinux` and got nothing on both of them)


thanks a lot.

w.
