Hello Enrico,

Yes, I am aware of the goals and the spec. What I am questioning is the logic 
of explaining how to install ubuntu in the quick guide. The reality is that 
ubuntu will already be installed when the user starts using ubuntu. As far as 
I know there is no requirement to produce a print format and using a quick 
guide for installation is scary, IMHO.

I would not want to explain how to install ubuntu. The closest thing I to 
instalation that I would put in quick guide is how to install additional 
applications via synaptic.

What do you think?
