Hi,

We really need a verb here as I explain in my original patch. Whilst
it
does remove the jargon this isn't much better than "Live" IMHO.
anonym:
I agree with both points.
I don't. User interaction *is* the verb you are looking for :)
For example, in an application list on any OS there isn't a 'Start
Application X' instruction on every icon, but yet we are all confident
that when we select any of these icons that the respective application
will start (boot, to be more or less technical). Maybe we need an icon.
Also, when in the Boot Menu, 'Live' is ambiguous and doesn't communicate
the intended task, while 'Tails' clearly does communicate the intended
task which (with the included Boot Menu label text as a second vector
confirming that this is a menu and you should select an option). From
my armchair, the action to take is hard-coded in the experience of
knowing you are starting a computer, so all that is needed to move
forward is an understanding of the options, not what action to take.
Did you have any specific objections to that? I'm not particularly
bothered about which verb (eg. "Boot" vs "Start"), we just need one.
Or what about verb + noun, i.e. "Start Tails" (and "Start Tails
(failsafe)")? Still succinct, to the point, no jargon => hard to cause
any confusion or ambiguity. The best of two worlds?
This is good, but conflicts with actually starting Tails, as 'Start
Tails' is already in use on the Greeter. However, Bootstrapping is the
function here, so:
Boot Menu
Boot Tails
Boot Tails (failsafe)
'Boot' in the verb + noun structure becomes redundant. However, as an
alternative, removing 'Boot' from the menu label makes 'Menu' an
unnecessary label.
Maybe we need a short descriptive sentence clarifying what action needs
taken. In this case we would still have:
Boot Menu
Tails
Tails (failsafe)
But explain that when presented with options it is suggested that an
option is selected and that by doing so they will be booting Tails. This
sentence will need some TLC for sure if we include it.
Wordlife,
Spencer
