Bug Description

Do this: open the app Software & Updates > select first tab named Ubuntu Software (if not already by default) > observe section Installable from CD-ROM/DVD

In those good ol' days, Ubuntu was installable only from a CD and later from a DVD. Nowadays, USB thumb drives are superceding this, which makes the whole string wrong, even the title.

So, I propose this:
Installable from physical media
Physical media with Ubuntu [...]

This makes it future-proof as well, since god-knows-what is going to exist in the future to boot Ubuntu from, but it will be physical media for sure.

Care to fix this? Also, I would gladly make a PR request to speed up the process (provided you tell me how).
