Description
hrev45189, gcc2.
I hadn't run Haiku for a while and was surprised to see the ReadOnlyBootPrompt appearing when booting a vmware image or an image built straight to a partition. A quick search led me to #8945 and hrev45185.
1) The ReadOnlyBootPrompt sports two confusingly labeled buttons; 'Run Installer' and 'Desktop (Live-CD)', neither of which seems an appropriate choice for the use cases in question. A single 'Continue' button would be preferable, although just relabeling the second one e.g. 'Boot to desktop' might work too.
2) There is now an Installer icon on my desktop, looking a bit superfluous/unpurposed/déplacé.
3) 'ReadOnlyBootPrompt' seems to have become a misnomer, perhaps it should now be renamed.

Hrmm... I didn't consider those points.
- The button "Desktop (Live-CD)" is renamed to "Boot to Desktop"
- The Installer icon will only be copied to the Desktop on read-only medium.
- "ReadOnlyBootPrompt" is renamed to "FirstBootPrompt"
Replying to dsjonny:
I have "re-translated" the strings on Pootle, and for Hungarian the buttons and the text is fit to the function for the app.
IIRC it's better to update the text in the source code, as opposed to having the localized text mean something else.
