Corey didn't cite it accurately; it's actually "Install to the hard
disk". We should keep "Ubuntu" out of the text (the logo is enough, and
text has to be translated, causing problems for Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and
others). "Install on Computer" seems a little baby-talkish to me, and
"Install" fails to distinguish between that option and the other options
that also perform an installation; but I'd certainly consider other
possibilities. At the moment it's still relatively easy to change, as
that text hasn't been translated.

Good point, thanks; done.
