[Bug 572110] Re: scary message on live cd installing

Hardcoding "Ubuntu" here is problematic too; the same desktop file is
used for other derivatives.

How about we just take the original text but simply remove the word
"permanently"?  I think that would be fine - does anyone object to that
(with reasons)?

  scary message on live cd installing

Bug description:
  Hello,

when running the live CD of Ubuntu 10.04 go to system/administration/ install Ubuntu (or something like that.)
When you hover your mouse on the install Ubuntu a message will pop up:

Install this system permanently on to your hard drive

This message can scare off new users because the ¨permanently¨ really makes it sound like you can´t delete Ubuntu afterwards.
