+Wubi installs Ubuntu into an image file on an MS Windows box. there
+are pros and cons to that approach, the most important being that no
+re-partitioning is need for a dual-boot system and removing Linux is
+as simple as deleting a file.
+
+Manriva offered this install option at one point. Does anybody know
+why it was dropped? Actually, RedHat in its 4.x series had a live CD,
+IIRC.
+
+I believe that a Live CD version is more useful for the casual/curious
+user than Linux on a loopback filesystem.and also is usedful for demo
+purposes, troubleshooting a Linux or MS Windows computer or a Linux
+power-user on a strange machine.The Live CD approach already works,
+wubi would need devs and resources to adapt to Mageia, so I would say
+we solve more pressing problems first.
