[documentation] multi site documentation?

The page on multisites is a list of links to forum posts, which is better
than nothing, to be sure, but, you know, still...

The rest of it is more of a support question so I will do some searching and
find out.

Some configurations that you can write instructions for...  basically,
multi-site means you share the codebase at the same place, although the site
exists somewhere else, there are no files there, right?  I have no idea how
that works, but that is my impression (with a gallery multi site you get a
minimum collection of files in the sub site).

So, some possibilities:
1. Same codebase, completely different content and users
2. Same codebase, different content, same users
3. Same code base, same configuration, different content, same users

Each configuration should cover:
settings.php
database prefixes
and whatever else changes, though I can't think of what.

When I figure out my own site I can write up something basic, but if anyone
has any ideas/rough drafts for putting those forum posts in a cohesive
document, that should be shared I think.

Does this information exist somewhere else in the handbook, other than
install > multi site setup?  I can't believe it, so I feel like I must be
missing something...  The install.txt actually is not so bad in this
respect, but it says find more info in the handbook, and since no mention of
database prefixes is mentioned, I'm a bit confused.  This is a support q,
but in order to have a multi-site thingy, do you even need different
databases?  I looked in the install.mysql file too, but no mention.
