Before investing much effort in this, please be aware that debian-custom
is working towards a native Debian solution to this problem.  If you can
wait a bit for production quality tools to be developed, it ought to be
easier to master a debian-custom CD which includes Spanish support
natively than to base it on a derivative like Morphix.  See Fabian Franz
(of Knoppix) discussing progress in this area on debian-custom today:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-custom/2004/05/msg00079.html

Of course, as he and Klaus warn, this is not tested code.  But it is
certainly encouraging to see that there is now actual progress, and not
just talk about integrating Knoppix in Debian.

The closer you can keep your efforts to Debian main, the less work you
have on your hands maintaining a fork.  Ideally, localised versions of
any CDD are all maintained natively within Debian.
