Bug Description

Wubi makes Ubuntu easy to install on Windows, but it leaves no easy way to wipe Windows off the system later. Ubuntu could track the Windows files on the system as a big Debian package or similar, such that Windows could later be removed from the system via Add/Remove Programs, leaving Ubuntu installed with an NTFS filesystem and no Windows components anywhere.

That requires moving Wubit to a dedicated partition first using tools such as LVPM. Such tools will be available soon for 8.04.
