	We're glad for your help :) and we're sure Ubuntu-express will satisfy
your needs.

	Well, ubuntu-express was decided to put out from BreezyGoals because it
wasn't ready on date, although we have continued developing all the
system and we have now a cool graphical installer wich is improving day
to day. You can test a release from a week ago in
ftp://ws314.juntadeandalucia.es/guadalinex2005/archives/live-cd/gx2005-live-v1.0a200510041330.iso . This is a development public release of Guadalinex 2005 which includes a fully functional Ubuntu express. Nowadays some bugfixes from mountpoints validation stuff (which is disabled in this release), a lot of source documentation, a much better ubuntu-doc package and an improved boot and config stuff have been added. You can get the last devel release from "svn checkout http://ws314.juntadeandalucia.es/guadalinex2005/live_installer"

	To get Ubuntu-express working on your distro you need the last packages
built from svn (I will upload new .debs as soon as we internationalize
some validation stuff, and some lost strings in glade file which aren't
now), the last gparted .deb
(ftp://ws314.juntadeandalucia.es/guadalinex2005/archives/gparted/gparted_0.0.8+cvs2005061901-0uda3_i386.deb) and the last peez .deb (http://ws314.juntadeandalucia.es/guadalinex2005/other_apps/live_test_system/peez2_1.0.0rc7_i386.deb)

	This bug is already fixed and as I explained you before, Ubuntu-express
system is already fully functional, but some minor bugfixes are needed.
In addition, we need more tests to get an optimal installer although
Guadalinex users will reports a lot of stuff as soon as a beta's
released.

	Well, as I have told, Ubuntu-express is currently in continuous
development, and we want to release a fully bugfixed and optimal
graphical installer for Ubuntu and Guadalinex.

	We'll do it as soon as we finish the Guadalinex development process so
we are developing Ubuntu express on this project platform because it
will be the first full test to get Ubuntu-express as a definitive
graphical installer for Ubuntu.

	Added to my jabber account (eurodev at jabber.org) ;) On freenode you'll
find me as "eurodev".

	If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask for me :)
