Get from disk - the feature that HAS TO be implemented

[freyjkell]

What if I've got downloaded the ISO from a mirror (and using a download manager)?

+-Wabi---------------------+
| Downloading... |
| [++++++++++++++++ ] |
| |
| [Get from disk] |
+--------------------------+

When the button will be clicked, then Open dialog box (with *.iso mask) will appear.
It will check the MD5sum, and if it's OK, it load that.

I've written incorrect illustration. This is the right one:

| [Get from disk] |
+--------------------------+

Well, it seems that multiply spaces aren't a good idea :)

+-Wubi---------------------+
| Downloading... . . . . . |

Probably someone will cite this fragment from WubiGuide:

How can I use a manually downloaded ISO?

You need to download the appropriate ISO of the appropriate version. Place the ISO in the same folder where you have Wubi-7.04-XYZ.exe. Then run Wubi.

This option could be more visible for a statistical Smith :P That's why it's not the same is the button

Sorry for mistakes in my msgs.

Valid point but it's more like a feature request than a bug.
I'll see what can be done.

I will look into this after the Ubuntu final release

Ping. This looks related to my proposed solution to bug #780918
