Bug Description
Make the Ubuntu and flavours i386 (32-bit) version check for UEFI, and if found, bail out and advice to download and install the 64-bit version.
This is relevant for 12.04.2, 12.10 and 13.04 (and probably future releases too).

'http://
with the Windows 8 logo or UEFI firmware, choose the 64-bit download.".
I would find it useful if the i386 Ubuntu version would check for UEFI,
and if so, bail out and advice the 64-bit version. Just like the 64-bit
install does when you try to run it on 32-bit'

I think this is a good idea :-)
