You should select the hardened profile and then install the desktop |
| 19 |
related packages you want manually. Everything should work by default. |
| 20 |
If you want to use SELinux, the default policies available assume you |
| 21 |
are using a login manager. |

I think his question is mostly about how he should approach installing |
| 29 |
everything: start with a desktop-based system and then harden it, or |
| 30 |
set up a hardened system and then install the desktop programs. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The Gentoo project doesn't actually support doing the former. The |
| 33 |
latter is far easier. |
