Bug #21898	Section 2.1.2.2 makes it sound like InnoDB is only available in source

Assigned to:	Stefan Hinz	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
Section 2.1.2.2 in the documentation states that:
 "You want to configure mysqld to ensure that features are available that might not be included in the standard binary distributions. Here is a list of the most common extra options that you may want to use to ensure feature availability:

    * --with-innodb"

This makes it sound like you need to compile MySQL from source to get InnoDB functionality, when in reality this is now compiled in in nearly all cases (might be in all cases even, I haven't checked att packages).

How to repeat:
Read the manual section "2.1.2.2 Choosing a Distribution Format" and see for yourself.

Suggested fix:
Remove the reference to --with-innodb from section 2.1.2.2 in the manual
