How To Install SELinux on Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron”
Installing SELinux in Hardy:
- Update /etc/apt/sources.list by appending the following:
- deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-hardened/ubuntu hardy main
- deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-hardened/ubuntu hardy main
- Update repo:
- > apt-get update
- Install updated packages:
- > apt-get upgrade
- These packages have SELinux support patches:
- libpam0g
- openssh-server
- grub
- login
- Install selinux:
- > apt-get install selinux
- These packages will be removed:
- apparmor
- apparmor-utils

If using aptitude instead of apt-get, you will need to manually remove apparmor and apparmor-utils, deselect selinux-policy-dummy, and then choose selinux-policy-refpolicy.
