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.
