Update of /cvs/docs/release-notes/FC4
In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/tmp/cvs-serv916

Modified Files:
	daemons.xml 
Log Message:

Added note that updatedb is no longer run by default.
Note: <screen> line ought to have <userinput> tags, but these have not been used before in relnotes, so I'm playing it safe.
