If you don't have SELinux enabled (at least in permissive mode), then
you're not going to be able to label the filesystem of the live CD as
you can only set filesystem labels with a policy loaded.
So, short answer, yeah, you have to at least have SELinux in
permissive mode to create a live CD with SELinux enabled
Thanks for explaining this. I have relabeld my filesystem
with "/sbin/fixfiles relabel /" and set selinux to permissive mode. But
then I'm getting a lot of this errors when booting the livecd:

Strange is that the timestamp of the files in /dev/.udev (on livecd)
is the time of creation of the livecd.
Not sure about this (as I've said: sadly not much experiences with
selinux). Chitlesh Goorah guessed that this problem is located on my
host system. So I will set up a really clear installation this evening.

P.S.: attached is the ouput from livecd-creator for restorecon
