We no longer show icons on the desktop, so there is no immediately
obvious place to show the 'install to hard disk' launcher. The
alternatives are to make it a favourite in the shell overview, or to add
it as a menuitem in the user menu. Both of these have some drawbacks
(the favourite does not display any text, leaving the user to guess from
the icon, the user menu requires a gnome-shell patch). An alternative
I'd like to propose is to simply autostart the installer. That will make
it hard to overlook, and seems to nicely emphasize the main role of the
live cd as a convenient way to install Fedora.
Thoughts ?

What do you think about the desktop background containing a msg
something like:
This is a live installation of the Gnome desktop. It is a temporary
installation that has not touched your hard drives. To install to your
hard drive, open a terminal and type "install-desktop" (no quotes). Enjoy!!
