 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    base system
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     minor

 Status:       patch (code needs review)

Chx's path goes a little too far. I'm ambivalent about this one,
honestly, but if it does get switched, at least use "db_name" and not
"dbname". The "db_" follows the previously established "standard" of
"db_url".

I've seen several times that users forgot to change the 'database' in
$db_url to their real database name when installing drupal. They have
done all other steps, set up db_url but forgot only to change the
database.
I suspect that it's because 'database' does not look as something to be
changed. So I've changed it to dbname.

Well,I think INSTALL.txt is fine especially because users do not read
it, if they would, then they would have no problem. Now, let's see this
version for settings.php
