You're not considering the population of users who know that they want to install this thing, but don't know that "Start Ubuntu" gives them that opportunity. Most folks adopting Ubuntu have some experience with operating systems (replacing one's OS is a big commitment, and that's how most people get Ubuntu these days), and know that they need to be installed. This is especially confusing as there are many Linux distributions which have a separate CD for "starting" (live operation) and "installing". -- - mdz -- Boot-up option 'Start or install Ubuntu' scares new users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
