SELinux is enabled by default in Fedora. SELinux policy has booleans that can be used to disable SELinux for specific services or you can disable SELinux entirely. If you want to disable SELinux entirely, you can use system-config-selinux (part of policycoreutils-gui package) to do this graphically or set the value of SELINUX in /etc/selinux/config to disabled. However it is highly recommended that you set it to permissive instead since it will show you the denials and setting it to permissive does not requiring relabeling the entire system when you enable it again. You can pass selinux=0 in the installation boot prompt to disable SELinux during installation or refer to kickstart documentation for automated installations.
