Yes.

That's mostly it. Usually modify the catalog.cfg a little (database &
hostname changes, etc.), add 1 line to the interchange.cfg, and 'cp -a' a
cgi-bin/storename file and that's it. It's quite easy.
BTW, chown $USERNAME.$GROUPNAME works too -- saves the extra chgrp command.

Good question. If you are building a catalog from the ground up, start
with 4.7 (the daemon itself is as stable as a rock). But if you plan on
starting with the template provided, then 4.7.x might be a little riskier
than 4.6 (bugs in the 4.7 catalog are still being fixed, but maybe most of
the big ones are gone by now). If you plan on working on it for 1-2 months
before release, then 4.7.x is a safe bet.
IMHO, of course.
