Using MySQL is fine, especially if you've already gone through the  
configuration steps and it's working fine for you...

I've tried to improve the documentation but I believe the information  
was already there. On the installation page (http://www.xwiki.org/ 
xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation) we had:

"If you need to migrate an existing XWiki installation, check the  
[Release Notes>Main.ReleaseNotes]."

and in the manual installation seciton:

"
You'll need to perform 2 mandatory steps:

     * Install and configure a Servlet Container
     * Install and configure a relational database

This will results in a minimal empty wiki installation. You may want  
to use the Import/Export tool to import some pages in your wiki. We  
recommend that you import the provided default XAR.
"

I've added some syntax coloring for better visibilty.

Let me know how we could add it further, thanks.

Thanks
-Vincent
