You can read the files from a non-SELinux distribution, or one with SELinux disabled. However, files created by a system not using SELinux systems do not have a security context, nor do any files you remove and recreate. This could be a challenge with files such as ~/.bashrc. You may have to relabel /home when you reboot the SELinux enabled Fedora Core system.
