"Testcase base startup" confusion

This test case is a bit confusing:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_base_startup

As Lukas Brabec found out, it requires people to create an encrypted setup by using the text mode, which is no longer supported by F18 anaconda. We need to adjust it, the question is how.

I have to say I'm not a fan of complex test cases that require people to do multiple things (first install in graphical mode, then install in text mode, etc etc).

I propose to:
a) either split this test case into two separate ones, graphical and text mode, where the graphical one will require disk encryption and the text mode will not
b) or don't specify graphical/text mode, and don't specify disk encryption, let people choose. Some will do this, some will do that. I don't see why we should require disk encryption when it is already covered by "Anaconda_autopart_(encrypted)_install" test case.

Thoughts?
