Description of the change

This patch modifies the data/isolist.ini to address two bugs.

The first bug 1134770 is that the kernel on the amd64 has changed from vmlinuz to vmlinuz.efi.

The second bug 1155704 is that the disk image used for Wubi installs is broken. The patch provides a workaround to this bug by disabling the diskimage installs and reverts to downloading the ISO instead.

I've installed using the patched wubi.exe run standalone (no ISO available) to show that it now goes after the ISO and also that it recognizes the correct kernel. The download and installation were successful and rebooting into Ubuntu completed normally.
