[Bug 154506] Re: Ubuntu LiveCD "Install" icon confusing

While it looks like I'm a bit late, I'd strongly suggest making the launcher distro-neutral such as "Install to Hard Drive" rather than mention Ubuntu specifically. Otherwise downstream distros will have to fork Ubiquity just to change the branding. -- Ubuntu LiveCD "Install" icon confusing http

Catto, The user can also install software (packages), and many users don't understand the difference between a LiveCD and a hard-drive install (nor should they have to). I very much like Mat's suggestion, "Install Ubuntu on this computer": it assumes no level of technical knowledge and leaves no

Catto, You can install more than the operating system in the live CD environment, and that's what the initial comment suggests leads to confusion. I think "Install to hard drive" or "Install Ubuntu to hard drive" are too verbose and are inaccurate. You can install Ubuntu to a USB disk, which I b

I agree with Ryan's first comment. Maybe the Install icon/option could be placed under the System menu (after all, it's system related right?) among the Help and About items.

Thanks for your comment, David. I agree that a prominent desktop icon should be present. However, I think that a few more icons should be placed on the desktop (that lone solitary icon seems a lot more out of place than it does if you add links to Examples and and Help.) In addition, the name "Ins

I don't think that would be a good idea, because people might want to have a look at ubuntu on the liveCD before actually installing. When it comes to installing, they could have a problem finding the right place to go to install if there is not a prominent icon on the desktop. -- Ubuntu LiveCD "
