Section 20 of the INSTALL file *does that*...but get them started the
right way, using the proper commands is all I'm saying...

How else is someone going to know about {create,destroy}{user,db} in the
first place, but by reading through the INSTALL file...so change that so
that they learn to connect to the database and use proper SQL...

That is all my point is...we are already telling them how to get started,
let's change that to "how to get started the proper way"...
