A workaround I've seen has been to say 'Installation Media' rather than
DVD/CD. Bug report raises a good point given the move away from these by
default.

Title:
  Ubiquity installation says "You can try Ubuntu without making any
  changes to your computer directly from this CD

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When booting from an iso all Ubuntu and flavours have the option to
  Install or "You can try <distro> without making any changes to your
  computer, directly from this CD"

  This should be changed to something other than "directly from this CD"
  I would recommend something like "directly from this iso" since many
  users will no longer try or install from a CD or DVD.
