If I did originally recommend that text, I apologize, and offer it as an
example of the importance of usability testing.

I agree with trying "Start Ubuntu" instead. That has the possible
problems that (1) it may lead people who fear installation to choose
"Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode" instead (because they read it as a
"safe mode" that is also graphical), and (2) it may lead people who
already want installation to choose "Install with driver update CD"
instead.

My next choice would be "Test-drive Ubuntu", which would likely
eliminate problem #1, but worsen problem #2. An alternative method of
reducing problem #1 would be to rename "safe graphics mode" to "basic
graphics mode".
