Description
Some people want to run a full installation of Ubuntu from the LiveCD, but don't know what an ISO image is or what to do with it.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto is quite complicated.

Why not simply integrate the open-source ISO burner from the link above into Wubi, and market it as an all-in-one Ubuntu Installer? It could download the ISO, and ask if you want to install it via Wubi, or if you simply want to put it on a CD. It could add a "Boot from CD" option on the native bootloader as well, (the LiveCD already does this if you ask it to) for those who don't want to mess with BIOS.

Umenu and Wubi were major steps in the right direction, so let's take this all the way!

Wouldn't that make Wubi more complex and difficult?

It would suffice to include a text about how to do that with the various programs that commonly exist on Windows systems.

Incidentally a built-in CD burner was in the very first Wubi blueprint...
