+======================================
 
-1. make sure that your mysql service is configured and running properly
-2. log in to mysql as privileged user to create the database and a dedicated user account for ownCloud:
-mysql -u root -p
- CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
- CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS owncloud;
- GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

+   is a fresh install, you will need to run "systemctl enable mysqld.service;
+   systemctl start mysqld.service" (or mariadb.service) as root. It's also
+   strongly advised to run "mysql_secure_installation" after starting the
+   database for the first time.
 
-Now you can launch the ownCloud setup screen, select MySQL in the advanced settings and fill in your credentials.
+2. Log in to the database as privileged user to create the database and a
