 During the F19 cycle, the anaconda text installer interface became a lot
 more capable; it now replicates almost all the functionality of the
 graphical UI, only really missing custom partitioning.

 However, we still only have a single test case for it -
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_User_Interface_Text -
 which simply says 'run any old text install you like'. That's a bit weak.

 We may want to re-evaluate the most sensible way to test the different
 installer interfaces; just having a single test case for each interface
 seems a bit of an odd approach. It seems more reasonable to run the
 functional test cases against multiple interfaces, though it may be
 unrealistic to try and run every test case against every possible
 arch/interface combination.
