I like this, perhaps an improvement would be using the the default option:

  "Install on a laptop or desktop" will begin after 30 seconds.
  Use the ^/v arrow and <-' enter key to choose another option.

Otherwise it makes it look like there is a third option "Computer will
boot"---does this mean hard-disk or CD?  The text about '30 seconds' should
disappear when a key is touched, as it would no longer be true.
