** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Clean-Ubiquity is a small tool (<100ko), written in Bash, that performs a MBR
backup before Ubuntu's installation. (and links the MBR to the new Linux's
partition UUID).
No visible change for the user.

Its MBR backups can be recovered manually, but they can also be used by the 2
following graphical tools :
- OS-Uninstaller (allows to uninstall any Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu... in 1
click)
- Boot-Repair (repair frequent boot problems, restore MBR, reinstall GRUB)
- DEB packages are ready, on the PPA, for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and
- 11.10, and have already been included them with success in ISO of
- Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 (see
+ DEB packages are ready, on the PPA, for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04,
+ 11.10 and 12.04, and have already been included them with success in ISO
+ of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 (see
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615667), and also Ubuntu
derivatives.
Integration in ISO is easy : Clean-Ubiquity needs 2 DEB (from PPA) and 2
preseed, one to launch a bash script before installation, the other to launch
another script after the installation.
Clean-Ubiquity and the 2 above tools have been intensively tested, and
already used by ~10.000 French users. (+1000 ISO downloads per week worldwide.)
(This is not an April fool. :-)
