BTW, I think the intent of "permanently" was to indicate the contrast
between running off the live CD and having it on your hard disk.  It may
well have missed the mark a bit though.

  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.
