Hmmm. in my VE the following 2 selinux libraries are installed:
  libselinux1
  libsepol1

And these below depend on the above 2 libraries:
  coreutils
  libpam-modules
  mount
  util-linux
  cron
  libdevmapper1.02
  libglib2.0-0
  logrotate
  openssh-server
  passwd
  sysvinit
  sysvinit-utils
  vim

So, I would need to deinstall the dependent modules as well,
but then even ssh is among them... :-)

Any tips on how to remove selinux from my system?
(I have access to the VE only)

BTW, the mentioned command in Victor's posting (setenforce 0) isn't available here.
