Title:
  Live-cd should notify the user of prolonged boot time

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntu-live

  When booting the live-cd, the user should be informed that because the
  boot is performed from a cd, it's dramatically slower than a "normal",
  hard drive boot. This could be done with a notice with something along
  the lines of "Starting Ubuntu from a CD takes a while. Please be
  patient for a few minutes."

  My background for suggesting this is the many times I have been asked
  the question "Does it really take this long to start Ubuntu?" when
  showing the live-cd to someone. Also, this might help give the new
  user an idea of what's really going on at the moment. Maybe the boot
  sequence on the live cd could even be used to inform about what Ubuntu
  is and what the live-cd does to the computer?
