I have no problem with you using those texts in 4.6.


And for 4.7, yes, there will (and is - see the recent betas) be three
different files: INSTALL.txt is the generic "how to install Drupal",
and INSTALL.mysql.txt and INSTALL.pgsql.txt cover how to get the Drupal
database going for your specific backend.

I'm currently in the process of translating install.txt to Dutch (as
promised [1] a long time ago), so the text receives a lot of my
attention.


In section 2 'Create the Drupal database' I find a section confusing:
   At the MySQL prompt, enter following command:
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.*
        TO nobody at localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   where
    'drupal' is the name of your database
    'nobody at localhost' is the username of your webserver MySQL
account
    'password' is the password required to log in as the MySQL user


The part I think might be confusing is 'nobody at localhost' is the
username of your webserver MySQL account. Isn't nobody at localhost just
the username you want Drupal to use when connecting to MySQL (ie use
later in settings.php), completely unrelated to the webserver?

These instructions have been slightly revised for 4.7 [2], to more
adequately indicate what's going on.

Thanks,


This is much clearer; mind if I use this as well in the 4.6
translation? 


Concerning a 4.7 translation; will there be three different text files
in 4.7?  Can't seem to find a discussion in the doc archive about this.
